The Jacksonville Jaguars have won nine regular-season games in a row, while posting historic marks. Week 2 provides a big challenge as the team looks to relive their success against the Denver Broncos in Week 2.
The Jacksonville Jaguars' turnaround under head coach Liam Coen has been remarkable, with the second-year head coach seemingly transforming the franchise into a perennial postseason contender.
Since Week 11 of last season, the Jaguars have rattled off nine regular season victories in a row, while posting historical marks.
On Thursday, Jacksonville's PR team released a statement and graphic depicting just how dominant the team has been.
Since the opening victory back in last November, the Jaguars have posted a +177 point differential, beating out the second-place San Francisco 49ers by a whopping 81 points (+96) over that span.
To find a better point differential through 11 weeks, you would have to go back to 2021, when the Buffalo Bills carried over a +179 from Week 16 of 2020 to Week 8 in the following season.
This is a historical run for a team who is only improving and continuing to look more in-sync.
Avoiding complacency was a huge talking point for Coen and multiple leaders on the team, as the focus has been continuing to grow and build on last season's AFC South title.
The Jaguars' Week 2 matchup will be a good test, as the team travels to take on a reeling Denver Broncos team looking to bounce back after a tough first game.
The beginning of the 11-game win streak was highlighted by a huge win in these exact conditions last season, when starting quarterback Trevor Lawrence played incredible against the Broncos' electric defense.
After beating the Los Angeles Chargers, Arizona Cardinals, Tennessee Titans, New York Jets, and Indianapolis Colts handily, the Broncos and Jaguars collided in a pivotal matchup.
Similar to his Week 1 performance, Lawrence accounted for four touchdowns, slinging three through the air and using his legs for another.
This not only pushed Jacksonville's win streak to five, but ended the Broncos' ten-game win streak, and positioned the team to finish out the season unscathed.
Throughout this streak, Jacksonville's offense has been humming, scoring 23 or more points in 12 consecutive outings.
This production carried over into the Jaguars' playoffs loss against the Bills last season, but former MVP quarterback Josh Allen retook the lead with 1:00 to play, leaving Lawrence and the offense in a difficult spot.
Postseason success is the next step for Lawrence to solidify himself as an elite-echelon quarterback, which remains a far-away goal.
But, picking up another road win in Denver would be a big step in the right direction, and keep the winning streak going heading into Week 3.
