Jacksonville Jaguars Aim to Maximize Potential for 2026 Season

The Jacksonville Jaguars are determined to maximize their potential for the upcoming 2026 NFL season after a successful 2025 campaign. Under head coach Liam Coen, the Jaguars achieved a remarkable 13 wins, clinched the AFC South title, and hosted a playoff game. Despite these accomplishments, Coen emphasized that there was still 'meat left on the bone,' indicating areas for improvement. Key focus areas for the Jaguars include enhancing their run game, which ranked 27th in yards per rush last season, and improving their pass rush, where they finished 27th in sacks. Coen highlighted the need to limit explosive plays on defense, particularly on third downs, while also pushing the ball downfield more effectively on offense. The urgency to improve is palpable within the organization, as Coen pointed out that Year 2 is crucial for establishing consistency and avoiding the pitfalls of being a 'one-hit wonder.' The Jaguars are committed to addressing these challenges head-on to ensure they take the next step as a competitive team in the NFL.
