Officially, the Jacksonville Jaguars have improved from last to first.

The Jaguars defeated the Tennessee Titans, 20-16, on Saturday to claim the AFC South championship, only one year after a three-win record.

Doug Pederson oversaw a significant turnaround in Jacksonville's first season under his leadership, as the team finished the regular season at 9-8 to win the division and get to the playoffs for the first time since 2017.

"Sounds fantastic. Really, really fantastic sounding, "Trevor Lawrence, the Jaguars quarterback, told ESPN's Lisa Salters that his team will likely make the playoffs. "It's challenging to summarise this season and what we've accomplished. to be given the chance to participate in the playoffs. Here's another game at home. We're energised."

At this time last year, the Jaguars were still picking up the pieces after a 3-14 season during which their new coach, Urban Meyer, was fired before the season was over.

The result was that the Jaguars received the first overall choice in the draught for the second consecutive year.
