The Jaguars enter the 2026 season with sky-high expectations after their surprising run to the AFC South title and a first-round playoff appearance last year. Coming off a 34-10 rout of the Cleveland Browns in Week 1, Jacksonville looks poised to build on that momentum, with in-house analysts and outside experts alike predicting another double-digit win season and a return trip to the postseason. The Jaguars' pass rush, led by Travon Walker and Josh Hines-Allen, remains the backbone of a defense many believe can carry the team deep into January, but with a first-place schedule and a loaded AFC in 2026, Jacksonville will have to prove last year's breakout wasn't a fluke.

Jacksonville Jaguars Playoff Picture and Predictions
The Jaguars are off to a strong start in 2026, and a handful of key contributors are already making their mark. Quarterback Trevor Lawrence threw three touchdown passes in the Week 1 win over Cleveland, spreading the ball around to a receiving corps that includes Parker Washington, who hauled in five catches for 83 yards and a 30-yard touchdown on the game's opening drive.
On the ground, second-year running back Bhayshul Tuten looks like a bigger part of the offense, rushing for 66 yards on 15 carries in his first extended look of the season. Tight end Brenton Strange, fresh off signing a contract extension, also found the end zone, and the offensive line held up well behind first-time starters Anton Harrison at left tackle and rookie Emmanuel Pregnon at left guard.
On defense, the pass-rush duo of Travon Walker and Josh Hines-Allen continues to set the tone up front, with Walker recording one of the team's five sacks in the opener. A healthy Travis Hunter in the secondary is also expected to be a major factor as the season progresses, giving Jacksonville's defense another dimension after his standout rookie campaign.
