NASHVILLE — The Tennessee Titans (3-13) conclude their 2025 season this week with a road trip to meet the AFC South rival Jacksonville Jaguars (12-4). Kickoff at EverBank Stadium (capacity 67,838) is scheduled for 1 p.m. EST/12 p.m. CST on Sunday, Jan. 4.
This is the second of two annual clashes in the series, which dates back to Jacksonville's inaugural 1995 campaign. The Titans, who lead the all-time series 35-27 (including playoffs), look to regain the momentum in the series after the Jaguars took both meetings in 2024 and the first matchup of 2025 at Nissan Stadium in Week 13.
Titans interim head coach Mike McCoy has a recent history with the Jaguars. He coached the team's quarterbacks from 2022 to 2024, prior to joining the Titans during the 2025 offseason as senior offensive assistant. In McCoy's time in Jacksonville, quarterback Trevor Lawrence had consecutive 4,000-yard passing seasons in 2022 and 2023 before being limited by injuries to 10 games in 2024.

WARD, TITANS LOOK TO END ON HIGH NOTE
The Titans played their home finale last week against the New Orleans Saints. They built a 20-10 lead at halftime, but the Saints scored the game's final 14 points in the fourth quarter to win 34-26.
Titans rookie quarterback Cam Ward completed 21-of-40 passes for 251 yards and two touchdowns. It was his fourth consecutive performance with two touchdown passes and his third consecutive outing with no interceptions. The No. 1 overall draft pick became the first rookie quarterback in franchise history to reach 3,000 passing yards (3,117)
On defense, Pro Bowl defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons recorded his career-best 10th sack of the season and his third forced fumble of the campaign, which also set a career high. He leads all interior defensive linemen in sacks, quarterback pressures (58, per Next Gen Stats), tackles for loss (16) and forced fumbles (tied).
THE JAGUARS
The Jaguars enter Week 18 in first place in the AFC South. With a win against the Titans, they will clinch the division. A loss to the Titans coupled with a Texans victory against the Indianapolis Colts would result in a wild card berth for the Jaguars and a division title for the Texans.
Lawrence, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, has started every game in 2025. On the season, he has 3,752 passing yards with a career-high 26 touchdowns and 12 interceptions. Last week, he threw for 263 yards with one interception in a victory at Indianapolis.
Liam Coen is in his first season as Jacksonville's head coach after one season as the offensive coordinator for the Tampa Buccaneers (2024). In his lone year in Tampa Bay, he led the NFL's only offense that finished in the top five in total offense (399.6 yards per game) and scoring (29.5 points per game).
