Jaguars Aim to Build on Last Season's Success in 2026

The Jacksonville Jaguars are looking to continue their upward trajectory in the 2026 NFL season after a remarkable turnaround last year, where they improved from a 4-13 record to 13-4 and clinched the AFC South title.

Quarterback Trevor Lawrence, who finished fifth in MVP voting and ranked fifth in touchdown passes with 29, faces the challenge of validating last season's success amid skepticism from oddsmakers, who currently favor the Houston Texans in the division. Lawrence emphasizes the importance of hard work and team cohesion as they prepare for the upcoming season.

In the latter half of the 2025 season, the Jaguars excelled, going undefeated in their last eight games while leading the league in both points scored and points allowed. As they aim for a return to the playoffs, Lawrence's focus is on consistent progress and refining their operations. The team has made few offseason changes, relying on in-house talent to fill gaps left by departing players, while maintaining a strong coaching staff to support their ambitions.
