LOOKING TO STAY PERFECT IN HOME SEASON FINALES: The Jaguars will conclude their season at home for the seventh time in franchise history and just the third time since 2000. Jacksonville’s most recent home finale also came against Indianapolis – a 19-13 victory in 2011 – and two of their six home games in Week 17 have come against AFC South opponents (Tennessee, 2005). Since the franchise’s inception in 1995, the Jaguars’ six home finales are the fewest in the NFL and they are the only team since 1995 to be undefeated in Week 17 home contests (6-0).
HOME SLATE FEATURES FIVE POSTSEASON TEAMS FROM LAST SEASON: Five of the Jaguars’ eight home games this season are against teams that qualified for last year’s postseason. Jacksonville’s home slate features three games against teams who won their respective division, including Kansas City (Week 1), New Orleans (Week 6) and Houston (London in Week 9).
