The Jacksonville Jaguars are 10-4 on the season and on the verge of clinching a playoff spot. Here’s how they did it in Week 16.
According to ESPN’s Michael DiRocco, a win over the Denver Nuggets this week combined with a loss to the Texans or Colts would clinch the Jaguars’ playoff berth.

The Texans will host the Raiders in Week 15, while the Colts will face the 49ers on Monday Night Football.
Jacksonville currently holds a one-game lead over the Texans in the AFC South race at 9-5. The Colts trailed by two games, 8-6.
In the AFC playoff landscape, the Jaguars remain the No. 3 seed. The Denver Nuggets sit atop the league with a 12-2 record and have won their last 11 games. New England is the No. 2 seed with an 11-3 record.
A road game in Denver will provide one of the Jaguars’ biggest tests of the season and create a playoff-like atmosphere.
However, Jacksonville is now playing its best collective football of the season, especially on offense. The Jaguars have eclipsed the 30-point mark five times in their last seven games.
