Kickoff is set for 4:15 p.m. EST. After playing eight consecutive AFC opponents to open the season, the Jaguars traveled to Detroit last week to open the second half of the season and claimed a win. The Jaguars used a solid game from all three phases to earn the win. Quarterback David Garrard threw for two touchdowns, running back Maurice Jones-Drew ran for a career-high three scores and the defense registered a season-high seven sacks. The Jaguars also blocked a field goal to set up a score. Linebacker Daryl Smith had a teamhigh 13 tackles along with 1.5 sacks and two tackles for loss. I feel like it was a win we had to have, and now we get ready for this next one, Jaguars head coach Jack Del Rio said. We did some things that we expected to do well and then there were some things that we still need to improve on. So that's where I say we need to use this as a game to build on and utilize going forward as a stepping stone, certainly not a place to arrive at. It s more of a step in the right direction. The Jaguars are 2-1 in the division and are looking to win three consecutive AFC South games for the first time in franchise history. The Jaguars have played the Houston/Tennessee franchise more than any other opponent in franchise history with the Titans leading the series, 15-12, in the 27 previous meetings. The teams opened the 28 season at Tennessee with the Titans holding on for a 17-1 win. The clubs met twice annually from as members of the AFC Central before relocating to the AFC South division. Eight of the Jaguars nine games have been decided by seven points or less with their five losses coming by an average of 4.8 points. The Jaguars own a 11-2 mark in games starting between 4:-4:15 p.m. under Del Rio and are 1-4 in November since 25. The Jaguars enter the game ranked 18th in total offense (32.6) and are tied for third in the NFL with only nine turnovers. The Jaguars are ranked 16th in defense (326.4) and 12th in scoring defense (2.7). Jones-Drew is tied for second in the NFL with nine touchdowns and leads the team in rushing with 433 yards. Garrard has thrown only one interception in the last six games and recorded the second-highest passer rating (128.4) of his career last week at Detroit. Fourth-year wide receiver Matt Jones leads the team with a career-high 5 receptions. Rashean Mathis has recorded a team-high three interceptions with two returned for touchdowns.
