With one game left in the regular season, the Jacksonville Jaguars will host division-rival Tennessee on Sunday.

With their 3-13 record and in last place in the AFC South, the Titans don't look dangerous on paper. But Jaguars head coach Liam Coen says Tennessee presents real challenges, even if the team has been eliminated from playoff contention since the Jags beat them 25-3 in Week 13.

"(W)e understand that they’ve improved," Coen said, noting among other improvements the Titans' recent defensive tightening against the run.

The Titans have held their last five opponents to less than an average of 85 yards rushing in four of their last six games.

Since their bye in Week 10, the Titans have held their opponents on average to under 78 yards rushing. In Weeks 1-9, Tennessee's opponents ran for an average of over 141 yards.

The Titans held the Jags to just 70 yards on 27 carries in Week 13. Travis Etienne Jr. led Jacksonville that Sunday with 12 carries for 28 yards.

"There’s not a lot of quit in that football team in Tennessee right now," Coen said.

"You're excited about these opportunities to play meaningful games in January and December," he said, but "it’s a division opponent, a team that obviously doesn’t probably like us too much."
