Jacksonville Jaguars. 13. team. 52. . W, 30-10 vs. Colts. Previous:

The Jaguars actually trusted quarterback Blake Bortles to make plays with his arm, albeit against a weak Colts defense.

And he did, to the tune of 309 yards and two touchdowns.

Jacksonville’s defense also bounced back nicely after giving up 27 points to the Cardinals in a loss last week. So without running back Leonard Fournette making a huge impact, the Jaguars were still able to use their defense-first ability to come away with a relatively easy win over Indianapolis.

This same defense forced two turnovers and held the Colts to just 290 all-purpose yards.

The Jags can still be inconsistent, but it’s hard to see anyone overtaking them in the AFC South right now.
