Even though the Jacksonville Jaguars are 9-4 entering Week 15, they're not getting nearly as much attention as they should. The good news is that Liam Coen is perfectly fine with it, stating that he doesn't mind if the Jags don't get the respect they deserve.
Moreover, there's going to be a point at which the national media can no longer ignore Jacksonville if it keeps winning. A win over the New York Jets will most definitely help, and Coen's squad will have several things going for it.
The biggest one is that Trevor Lawrence and other building blocks, such as Josh Hines-Allen and Devin Lloyd, are currently playing their best football. Couple that with the fact that the Jags are relatively healthy at this point of the year, and they should have no trouble disposing of the Jets when they welcome the 3-10 Jets at EverBank Stadium.
Parker Washington is 1 of 2 players the Jaguars listed as limited vs. the NY Jets
Parker Washington (hip) and Walker Little (concussion) got the questionable status for the Jets games. Earlier this week, Jacksonville listed safety Andrew Wingard (concussion), left guard Ezra Cleveland (shoulder), and defensive end B.J. Green II (knee) as limited. But all of them will be available against the Jets.

Little, along with Wingard, cleared concussion protocol Thursday. It's also worth noting that Trevor Lawrence popped up on the injury report Wednesday but was a full participant the following day. And if there were any doubts about his availability for the Jets game, head coach Liam Coen quelled concerns, telling the media that it wasn't something to worry about.

On the Jets sideline, it's official: Brady Cook will get the start behind center, with fellow quarterbacks Tyrod Taylor and Justin Fields nursing injuries. On top of that, New York has ruled out safety Tony Adams and tight end Mason Taylor for Week 15.
The Jaguars will face the Jets with all hands on deck
If they want to, the Jaguars could afford to hold Parker Washington out for this game. After all, Jakobi Meyers, Tim Patrick, and Brian Thomas Jr. did just fine against Indianapolis. This coaching staff has brought players along slowly this season, so nobody would bat an eye if they play it safe and keep Washington out.
Circling back to Andrew Wingard, Antonio Johnson filled in for him and held his own. It will be interesting to see who starts opposite Eric Murray. On the other hand, Cole Van Lanen got the nod at left tackle and did a commendable job in Week 14. Liam Coen said that he's done enough to earn a starting job, so he could replace Walker Little the remainder of the season.
The bottom line is that the Jaguars have been firing on all cylinders the past four weeks, so they should be able to repel the Jets. Having most of their playmakers around will certainly help.
