With everyone’s attention focused on the Philadelphia Eagles, Miami Dolphins, and Kansas City Chiefs, the Jacksonville Jaguars are quietly enjoying a 6-2 record.
Not only that, but Doug Pederson’s club has emerged victorious in the majority of its games, so it doesn’t appear like this is an isolated incident.
When questioned about their outstanding start, Pederson acknowledged that the team had a difficult start to the year and that it took them some time to get rolling, but he said he wasn’t shocked by their record thus far into the campaign (via Michael DiRocco).
He said that his guys believed they could accomplish something similar.
Before the season began, some analysts ranked the Jaguars as one of the biggest dark horses to emerge from the AFC, and they have so far lived up to those predictions.
The Jaguars are the only club in the league without a loss after four away games this season.
One may argue that they are 5-0 away from home because they also triumphed in a game played at home in London.
Their only defeats came in a close game against a desperate Chiefs club and an unexpected setback to division foe Houston Texans.
For the Jaguars, the rest of the schedule is rather favourable.
Watch out for Pederson’s squad in the postseason as well, as they appear ready to waltz to another division championship.
