Can the Jacksonville Jaguars string wins together?
By Billy Long
Through the first three weeks of the season, the Jacksonville Jaguars have displayed two games of exceptional play from all phases. But can they put these performances together in consecutive weeks?
The Jacksonville Jaguars have had quite the mystifying start to the 2017 season. A 29-7 blowout win over the Houston Texans and 44-7 drubbing of the Baltimore Ravens, with a 37-16 loss to the Tennessee Titans sandwiched in between.
It has been a peak and valley season thus far, and fresh off of the victory over the Ravens in London, morale is high again in Jacksonville. But if the Jaguars are going to have true success this season and prove that they have actually become a good football team, Jacksonville must string together these dominant performances in consecutive weeks and combat a win with another one.

It was fun watching the wins over the Texans and Ravens, but the Jaguars have to find a way to avoid falling into a lull like the team did against the Titans. The team must carry over the success and momentum of the previous week’s win and not let the excitement of a big victory put the team in hangover mode the next week.
Before the season, the schedule looked very manageable for the Jaguars. Now three weeks into it, that looks to be even more evident. With a 2-1 start, and both wins in impressive fashion, Jacksonville has set themselves up with a chance to really build up some wins and compete for a division title. To do that, however, the Jaguars must first show they can win two weeks in a row.
The next chance for the first back-to-back wins of the season comes on Sunday. Jacksonville will look to carry their performance from London to New York to take on the Jets, a game the Jaguars should win.
Whether Jacksonville can learn to transfer the successes of a victory to the following week will need to be proven as the season rolls on.
