The Jacksonville Jaguars are AFC South champions once again, and we’re breaking down what it means for this team heading into the playoffs. From milestone moments to lingering concerns, the vibes are high in Duval as the Jags turn their focus to the Wild Card round—and another chance to prove they belong on the national stage.

In this episode, we discuss:

• The Jaguars clinching the AFC South and what winning the division says about this team
• Cole Van Lanen’s extension and why it matters for depth and continuity
• Key takeaways from the win over the Titans, including the run game struggling to get going
• Trevor Lawrence hitting 4,000 passing yards and the overall confidence around the team
• Early keys and storylines for the Wild Card matchup against the Bills
• Why this game is another opportunity for the Jaguars to make a statement to a national audience that still doubts them

James Johnson and Phil Barrera bring you the best and most up to date Jacksonville Jaguars news. "Touchdown Jaguars!" is a tribute to the prospective ownership group "Touchdown Jacksonville!" In 1991, the NFL announced plans to add two expansion teams and "Touchdown Jacksonville!" announced its bid for a team, and Jacksonville was ultimately chosen as one of five finalists. In November 1993, the NFL owners voted 26–2 in favor of awarding the 30th franchise to Jacksonville. James and Phil have been fans of the franchise ever since and have had the honor (and sometimes dishonor) of covering the team professionally since 2017. The rest as they say, is history.

• One-penalty performance and why discipline unlocked the offense
• Trevor Lawrence’s second-half reset and interior timing with Jacoby Myers
• Defensive line depth sparks: Josh Allen record, Walker surge, Green and Striggow provides a shot in the arm
• Ezra Cleveland’s impact on the run game
• Etienne and Tuten punishing the second level and extending drives
• Coaching staff’s response after Houston and culture holding firm
• Why this template can carry through November and December
