For the second time this season and the first time since week 3, the Jacksonville Jaguars are my team of the week. The Jaguars had an impressive win Sunday against a very tough Baltimore Ravens team, 28-27.
The Jags went into their final drive with not much time left and not a lot of hope left. But, they drove down the field, thanks to a spectacular effort from Trevor Lawrence, and won the game on a gutsy two-point conversion call.
The Jags have not been a very great team this season, but half of their wins have landed on my team of the weeks. Doug Pederson and the Jags had nothing to lose by calling that 2-point conversion call with 12 seconds left in the game, and it paid off as they advanced to 4-7.
The Jaguars have been rebuilding their team for about 5 years now, ever since they lost in the AFC Championship in 2017, but they have some good young pieces that are coming together and winning games for this team.
Even without up and coming star, Travis Etienne, the Jags were able to get the job done and against one of the best teams in the AFC nonetheless. Although the playoffs seem doubtful this year, the Jags have definitely showed me and other fans across the NFL that in the near future they will be able to compete at a higher level.
I look at the Jags as a team with a lot of hope in the upcoming future and especially because of the division that they play. Arguably, not including the Titans, it is the worst division in football with the Colts and the Texans in the AFC South as well. The Jags had one of the more impressive victories that I've seen this season and that is why they earned the team of the week for week 12.
