Associated Press Breakdown:
Jaguars player to watch
Brian Thomas Jr. now holds every franchise rookie receiving record and is one of Jacksonville’s few bright spots in 2024. He’s been targeted 49 times the past four games, with fellow receivers Christian Kirk and Gabe Davis out for the season. He has 73 catches for 1,088 yards and nine touchdowns.
Key matchup
The Titans know Jacksonville will try to run on them early and often after they gave up 335 yards rushing last week to the Colts. It’s the most in an NFL game this season and the most for the former AFL franchise since 1961. Tennessee held the Jaguars to 26 yards rushing in their previous meeting.
