There's no more "win or go home" narrative to lean on, no high stakes within the division to motivate you to watch this. There's just your favorite football team, scuffling mightily, trying to find a piece of driftwood to cling to on this vast ocean of terrible football they've found themselves in. The Jaguars, meanwhile, just hung 51 points on the Colts, and appear to be figuring this thing out. This could be ugly.
Yet I imagine you'll watch it, or at least sneak a look at the television out of the corner of your eye a few times, and when you do, we'll be here. We have no choice, really. If you are going to watch this game with us, everything you need to know can be found below.
