JUST IN: The Jaguars are finally good enough for the NFL’s prime-time television slots.
Jacksonville was put in three primetime games, including two at home, when the league announced the 2023 schedule on Thursday night. That’s the reward for an AFC South title and run to the divisional round of the playoffs.
Of course, much of it has to do with the ascension of quarterback Trevor Lawrence, who enters his third year facing the most difficult 17-game schedule of his career. The Jaguars open the season on the road at Indianapolis and rookie quarterback Anthony Richardson on Sept. 10 before a Week 2 game at TIAA Bank Field against Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs.
But the biggest gains for the Jaguars from the scheduler makers were the inclusion of two marquee primetime slots — Sunday and Monday night football. Jacksonville ended the league’s longest Monday Night Football drought with a Week 13 home game that pits Lawrence against Cincinnati star Joe Burrow. The Jaguars had not appeared in the league’s premier time slot since Dec. 5, 2011. Jacksonville also snapped an even lengthier streak on Sunday night. The Jaguars will host the Ravens in Week 15 on Sunday,
. Lawrence threw a two-point conversion pass to Zay Jones with 18 seconds to play and Justin Tucker missed a 67-yard field goal to clinch it.. The Jaguars will host the Falcons at Wembley Stadium and then visit the Bills the following week at Tottenham Hotspur. Other than the two weeks in London, there are no extreme road tripleheaders. The farthest trip west is Houston.The last time Jacksonville reached the playoffs , Blake Bortles was the team’s quarterback.
