Jaguars drop in Week 18 NFL power rankings despite another win

11 hours ago 1

The Jacksonville Jaguars secured their seventh win in a row this past Sunday over the Colts and improved to 12-4 on the season.

However, in ESPN's latest Week 18 NFL power rankings, the Jaguars still dropped a spot.

After coming in at No. 5 a week ago, the Jaguars are now No. 6. The San Francisco 49ers are the team that bumped Jacksonville out of the top five.

Regardless of what those outside of Jacksonville think, the Jaguars continue to win. Along with already having locked up a playoff spot, the Jaguars are a win away from claiming the AFC South title, and they remain in the mix for the AFC's No. 1 seed.

Trevor Lawrence continues to play at a very high level. Against the Colts, in particular, he was excellent when under pressure or blitzed. And with that, the Jacksonville offense has been one of the most productive in football since Week 9, averaging nearly 32 points per game during that span.

The defense, meanwhile, continues to generate turnovers at a high rate, and they are allowing only 15.8 points per game in the last five weeks.
