1 week agoDisappointed Jags see loss as 'growing moment'
The Jaguars rose to 13-4 in 2025, fell 27-24 in an AFC wild-card game, and will use the loss and returning core to push for a championship next season.
That was expected to worsen once Bill Belichick was let go, only for Jerod Mayo to lead the team to the same record the legendary coach had totaled the year before. That inevitably led Robert Kraft to Mike Vrabel, and despite everything working against the Patriots and how far they appear to be from being a complete competitive team, the optimism surrounding their 2025 season is the highest it has been in over five years.
