Coming off the heels of a brutal home collapse, the Jacksonville Jaguars’ (3-7) season continues heading toward a tailspin. The Jaguars head north to take on the lowly Buffalo Bills (3-7) at New Era Field as Week 12 action continues on Sunday.

Preview
Both the Jaguars and Bills were playoff teams a season ago. Jacksonville started by winning three of four games, but have now dropped six straight and are in danger of making it seven with a road loss on Sunday. After jettisoning Tyrod Taylor and gutting the roster, Buffalo is staring realistically at the chance to draft first overall in 2019.
After missing more than a month of action with an elbow injury, rookie quarterback Josh Allen is healthy and ready to get back under center for the Bills.
“The comfort level is getting to where it needs to be, where I want it to be. I’m excited, thankful for the opportunity. Our training staff … they did a fantastic job and we’re going to continue with that process as well. The difference I feel in the elbow compared to two weeks ago, it’s a big difference. I’m thankful I was able to sit out one more week and Matt was able to come in and get us a victory.
I’m making throws where I don’t have to second-guess. Putting the ball where it needs to be, and when I’m making the throw, there’s no grabbing or pulling in there, it feels comfortable and fluid. Maybe two weeks ago I might have had a couple throws I didn’t want to make, but now I think it’s full game and every throw is on the table.”
The Jaguars defense is still playing relatively well, but not up to the level they were last season. Jacksonville has squandered opportunities to win manageable games against the Philadelphia Eagles in London, division rival Indianapolis Colts, and last week’s collapse against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
