From worst in the league to first in their division, the @Jaguars are playoff bound once again.
With a new head coach and a star second-year QB, Jacksonville finished the regular season on a 5-game winning streak. Let’s recap a redemption season in #DUUUVAL. THREAD 🧵
In the first round of the 2022 NFL Draft, the Jags selected Georgia’s standout LB, Travon Walker.
@44Ytw made an immediate impact, nabbing a crucial interception against Carson Wentz and the Commanders in his first NFL game.
From the start of the season, it was clear the Jaguars had made improvements defensively. Through the first four weeks, Trayvon Walker was second on the defense in pressures generated. LB Devin Lloyd was tied for the team lead in tackles.
Things got a bit rocky midseason, as a 5-game losing streak brought things to a halt.
A crucial Week 14 game against the Titans marked a turning point. Lawrence passed for 368 yards and scored a rushing TD late in the 3rd quarter to seal the Jags win.
The Jags came into Week 15 as underdogs against the Cowboys. But the team from Duval County had a lot to prove.
Lawrence threw 4 TDs, while Zay Jones exploded with 108 yards receiving and 3 TDs. The game went to OT and the Jags D won it on a pick-6.
That victory sparked a late-season win streak. In the final minutes of the regular season, the Jags’ defense came through once again.
Rayshawn Jenkins forced a fumble on the Titans which Josh Allen ran in for a TD. The Jaguars were division champs.
It would’ve been easy to write off the Jaguars, but this team defied expectation time and again in 2022. Is this the year the team makes it all the way to the big game?
