Jaguars Host Colts in Week Two Matchup

The Jacksonville Jaguars host the Indianapolis Colts at 1 p.m. on Sunday. The Colts have not won at TIAA Bank Field in Jacksonville since 2014.

Jags Look to Bounce Back

The Jaguars enter the matchup coming off a 28-22 loss in week one to the Washington Commanders. After a slow first half that offensively only consisted of a field goal, Jacksonville turned it around with a touchdown and field goal in the third quarter. In the fourth quarter, the Jags recorded another touchdown and field goal. The second half scoring surge wasn’t enough as the Commanders tallied two touchdowns in the fourth quarter to secure the win.

Breaking the Losing Streak

The Jaguars crushed the Colts’ chances of securing an AFC wild-card spot, last season. Jacksonville defeated Indianapolis 26-11 on Jan. 9. The Colts not only have the opportunity to break their losing streak in Jacksonville on Sunday but also avenge last season’s loss.

Kickoff in Jacksonville is set for 1 p.m.
