Jacksonville, FL — The Jaguars clinched their first AFC South title since 2022 with a 41-7 home thumping of the Tennessee Titans.
Trevor Lawrence threw for 255 yards and three touchdowns to cap the regular season with over 4,000 yards for the third time in his career.
Parker Washington led the team with 87 yards and a touchdown.
The Jaguars are the AFC’s #3 seed and will host the Buffalo Bills in the Wild Card Round on Sunday at 1:00 pm at EverBank Stadium and on CBS 47.
It’ll be the Jags’ first home playoff game since 2022 when Trevor Lawrence led a second-half comeback against the Chargers to win 31-30.
Even though Jacksonville is the higher seed, DraftKings has the Bills favored by 1.5 points.
It’s another Victory Monday, as the Jags successfully defended their home turf against the Houston Texans to close out the regular season at 13-4, win the AFC South Division Championship, and secure a first round home playoff game next weekend against the Buffalo Bills. Brent Martineau has the game highlights and looks at what’s ahead as the Jags move into the post-season:

SPOTLIGHT: Jacksonville Representative John Rutherford (R) joined Jacksonville’s Morning News in studio to discuss the capture of Venezuelan leader Nicholas Maduro, and why he supports the decision not to inform Congress ahead of it. Rutherford got emotional as he described the drug-related deaths of countless people in Florida as a result of drugs that come from Venezuela and other countries.
WOKV military analyst Col. Chris Budihas looks at the capture operation executed over the weekend, taking Venezuela leader Nicholas Maduro into custody. Col. Budihas breaks down the nature of preparation for the US Army’s Delta Force that results in operations like this wrapping up in less than half an hour (per Defense Sec. Hegseth). He also looks at how/why Congress might be excluded from advanced notice of execution; and he examines the distinctions between a “military operation” vs. a “law enforcement operation,” a distinction drawing scrutiny as Maduro faces arraignment in a US federal court today.
Captured Venezuelan leader Nicholas Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores will be arraigned in an NYC federal court for drug and conspiracy indictments, and allegations of “narcoterrorism.” Tonya J. Powers reports from the courthouse.
CAPITOL REACTION: Ryan Schmelz reports on Congressional reactions to President Trump’s orders to capture Venezuelan leader Maduro in his own country.
