With a division in disarray, can the Jaguars win the AFC South?

Few expected the Jaguars to reach the playoffs in 2017, let alone come within minutes of a trip to the Super Bowl. With the AFC South in disarray right now, Jacksonville might have a chance at another miracle run.

Through two weeks, the Jaguars are the only AFC South team with a win. At 1-1, Jacksonville still might be feeling some disappointment about blowing a late lead to the Commanders in Week 1, but they made up for it with a dominant 24-0 win over the Colts this past weekend. 

That victory means Doug Pederson's team already has a win over seemingly its biggest threat in the division, at least as long as the Titans continue to flounder. Tennessee fell to the Giants in Week 1 and was trounced by the Bills on Monday night.

If there's any reason to believe in the Jaguars, it's Trevor Lawrence's development. The second-year signal-caller has looked like the division's best quarterback through two weeks. 

After a nightmarish rookie season, Lawrence has completed 68.1 percent of passes for 510 yards, three touchdowns, and one interception over his first two games this year. He posted a 121.5 passer rating against the Colts on Sunday, the best mark of his NFL career. 

With a Super Bowl-winning coach at the top, the door is at least cracked open for the Jaguars to make a run.
