Jaguars appear to have set strong foundation
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- The Jacksonville Jaguars are back. The days of double-digit losses (six consecutive years) appear to be over for the foreseeable future. The jokes are gone, the losing streaks are gone. With an improvement of seven games from last year's 3-13 club, the Jaguars' 10-6 mark in the regular season was good enough to win the AFC South. Now the challenge is to repeat. It won't be easy with a first-place schedule ahead of them in 2018. But the foundation for years of success has been laid with a youthful defense (only one starter over 29) and an offense that led the NFL in rushing that featured a rookie running back.
