Jaguars Already Catch Big Break For Colts Matchup

The Jaguars' passing game seems to be heating up at the right time, which could make the Gardner injury all the more significant this weekend. According to Next Gen Stats, "Meyers saw a team-high 6 targets, catching all 6 for 90 yards and a touchdown. After failing to score a single touchdown in Weeks 1-9 with the Raiders, Meyers has now found the end zone in back-to-back weeks with Jacksonville.

"This was also Brian Thomas Jr.’s first game back from injury since the Jaguars acquired Meyers, which is important for their target distribution moving forward, and BTJ saw just 3 targets, catching 2 for 28 yards. Meyers feasted on in-breaking routes, recording 5 receptions, 82 yards, and his score on those concepts.

The Colts are on a slide right now, while the Jaguars have won three in a row and are 4-1 since their bye week. With the two teams both 8-4 entering Week 14, all of the chips are on the table -- and the Colts will be without a big one.

"One week at a time. 1-0 for the rest of the way. We're giving ourselves an opportunity to play meaningful games in November and December, and ultimately that's all you can ask for in this league," Jaguars head coach Liam Coen said after Sunday's win over the Tennessee Titans.

"The rest of the way you've got competitive meaningful football games, and I think that's just an important thing for us to go through as a team in year one. To have the opportunity to do those things and to earn that I think is important for us to be able to continue to move forward as a team.
