What channel is the Jaguars-Eagles game on today? Start time, announcers, and more

Just a couple weeks ago, it looked like the Jacksonville Jaguars were trending in the right direction. After all, they won two out of three games after going 0-4 to start the season. However, the Jags undid all the progress they made when they lost to the Green Bay Packers. You could make the case that they took things to the wire, but they ultimately came up short, and that's what matters in the win-loss column.

Now, Jacksonville faces an uphill battle to make the playoffs, and it's not hyperbole to say that they could be virtually eliminated from contention if they lose to the Philadelphia Eagles. So what is the exact situation the Jaguars find themselves in?

The Jags are 2-6 and four games behind the Houston Texans in the AFC South race. Add the fact that they're a 7.5-point underdog against Philly, and things look bleak for Jacksonville. Having said that, there's still a glimmer of hope, albeit a slim one.

Houston is seemingly in the midst of a funk, having lost two of their last three games. Similarly, the Colts just made a quarterback switch in hopes of keeping their season afloat. This could potentially give the Jaguars an opening in the division. But to be able to take advantage of it, they will need to beat the Eagles.

Working in Jacksonville's favor is that tight end Dallas Goedert and cornerback Darius Slay won't be suiting up for the game. On the other hand, the Jaguars are dealing with some injuries of their own.

Specifically, Brian Thomas Jr. is day to day after suffering a rib injury in the Week 8 loss to Green Bay. If he does suit up against Philadelphia, he might not be 100 percent. To make matters worse, wide receiver Christian Kirk, one of Trevor Lawrence's most trusted targets, is out of the year after breaking his collarbone.

The silver lining is that Jacksonville has a capable in-house replacement for Kirk in Parker Washington. In the same manner, the coaching staff could lean on Evan Engram and Brenton Strange and the offense won't miss a beat. With that in mind, here's how you can watch the game today.
