The Jacksonville Jaguars were able to pull out a huge win against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday, largely in part to the spectacular play of Rayshawn Jenkins.
Jenkins is in his fifth NFL Season.
Although he has had some great games in the past, none have been as statistically significant as his performance yesterday against the Cowboys.
Jenkins’ 18 total tackles are the second-best mark by a defender this season, and his two interceptions in a single are tied for the best such performance in the league.
Between the masterful play of Jenkins, and a comeback victory that was led by quarterback Trevor Lawrence, the Jaguars played themselves back into the playoff picture.
Where Do The Jaguars Currently Stand?
The Jaguars are currently 10th in the playoff race with a record of 6-8.
Although it seems unlikely, with three games to play, the Jaguars certainly have an opportunity to sneak into the playoffs.
With their remaining opponents being the New York Jets, Houston Texans, and Tennessee Titans, they certainly have a chance to win all three of those games, a necessary component to the Jaguars making the playoffs.
The Jaguars’ offense is currently firing on all cylinders.
In their last three games, the Jaguars’ offense is averaging 30 points per game, the fourth-best mark in the league.
In order to win, they will need to continue their high-scoring affairs, as their defense is allowing 32 points per game in these contests.
Will the Jaguars be able to continue their hot streak, making it into the playoffs this season?
