Jacksonville loss hands spots to Buffalo and PittsburghPatriots end painful season with loss to Jets
Trevor Lawrence had every chance to lead the Jacksonville Jaguars into the playoffs for a second straight year as the AFC South champions. He wound up stopped short of the goalline with 7:13 left, and he also turned the ball over on downs with 1:47 left as the Tennessee Titans eliminated the Jaguars from the playoff hunt in the final Sunday of the regular season.
The Jaguars (9-8) came in needing a win to clinch a second straight AFC South title for their first back-to-back crowns since 1998 and 1999. Their 28-20 loss makes Houston the division champs, costing the Jaguars their only way into the postseason after Pittsburgh also won on Saturday.
