Jacksonville Jaguars – The Jags jumped all over the Titans to leave no doubt they are the AFC South Champions. Jacksonville finishes its regular season with a 13-4 record in a giant turnaround with first-year HC Liam Coen.

Houston Texans – The Texans rested some of their starters as other starters, including C.J. Stroud, played just one half, but Houston got the W over the Colts 38-30. Houston will head to the playoffs boasting a 12-5 record after starting 0-3 on the season.

Tennessee Titans – Cam Ward injured his shoulder after rushing for a touchdown, and the Titans lost yet again to end with a 3-14 season. The Titans will go full force into their head coaching search now that personnel has been appointed to do so.

Indianapolis Colts – Riley Leonard gave his best effort, totaling three touchdowns, but the Colts ended their season with seven-straight losses to end the season at 8-9. There will be plenty of questions surrounding this franchise this offseason. The first of which might involve cutting one of their star players.
