Jacksonville Jaguars Schedule 2020: Full Slate Officially Released

The next season is coming into view for the Jacksonville Jaguars as the 2020 NFL regular-season schedule was officially released on Thursday.

After a 6-10 season left the Jaguars last in a combative AFC South, they will look to 2020 to be a step forward as second-year quarterback Gardner Minshew takes the starting job to start the season.

With the recent news that no international games will be played in 2020, the Jaguars’ two games over at London, UK’s Wembley Stadium are now being played at TIAA Bank Field in Jacksonville.

Many local fans in Jacksonville will be excited to see two more local home games on the schedule, but it is a hit to revenue for the team and owner Shad Khan.

Final Eight Games Will Test Jaguars

Goodness, that stretch after Jacksonville’s Week 7 bye week is looking pretty difficult at an early glance.

For one, the Jaguars will have to take the road against the Packers, Vikings and Ravens in a six-week span, who all made the playoffs last season and have established home atmospheres.

On top of that, the Week 9 trip to face the Chargers has been historically difficult, as the Jaguars have never beaten the Chargers as the road time.

Looking towards the home schedule though, things are slightly easier. The return of QB Nick Foles to Jacksonville makes Week 16 interesting, but shouldn’t affect the contest as long as Bears QB Mitch Trubisky stays on his feet.

The other out-of-division home games include the Browns and Steelers, who are both vying for a playoff spot this season in the AFC North. While both teams related to the Jaguars in terms of missing the playoffs, it’s likely that one or both teams are in playoff contention.

As for the divisional games, there is a major from the Jacksonville perspective: no road games. That being said, the Texans, Titans were all in contention for playoff spots last year, so any divisional game will be difficult.

However, if the Jaguars can walk away with a win or two from three divisional road games to open the season, being able to welcome the rest of the AFC South for important late-season games is something to be appreciated.
