The Jacksonville Jaguars had high hopes for the 2020-2021 NFL season, but their dreams of making the playoffs were dashed on Sunday when they lost to the Tennessee Titans 20-28. The Jaguars had a chance to make the playoffs for the first time since 2017, but their loss to the Titans sealed their fate.
The Jaguars had a strong start to the season, winning four of their first six games. They were in control of their own destiny heading into Sunday’s game against the Titans, but they were unable to get the win they needed to make the playoffs.
The Jaguars had a chance to take the lead late in the fourth quarter, but quarterback Gardner Minshew was intercepted in the end zone by Titans safety Kenny Vaccaro. This sealed the victory for the Titans and ended the Jaguars’ playoff hopes.
The Jaguars had a number of key injuries throughout the season, including starting quarterback Nick Foles, who missed most of the season with a broken collarbone. The team also lost running back Leonard Fournette and wide receiver Dede Westbrook, both of whom were key contributors to the team’s offense.
Despite the injuries and their inability to make the playoffs, the Jaguars can take some solace in the fact that they improved significantly from last season. The team finished with a record of 12-4, which was their best mark since 2007.
The Jaguars will now turn their attention to the offseason and look to build on their success from this season. They have a number of key free agents that they will need to re-sign, as well as some key draft picks that could help them take the next step in 2021.
The Jacksonville Jaguars may have missed out on the playoffs this season, but they can take pride in the fact that they made significant improvements from last year. They will now look to build on this success in 2021 and make a run at the playoffs.
