Why the Jaguars can cover
Rookie receiver Brian Thomas Jr. has already become the No. 1 option in Jacksonville's offense. Thomas uses his speed to stretch the field and provides a big-play threat. The LSU product is sixth in the NFL in receiving yards (397) and tied for sixth in receiving touchdowns (6). In the win over the Colts, he had five catches for 122 yards and one touchdown.
Running back Tank Bigsby has plenty of physicality and explosiveness that creates problems for defenses. The Auburn product has 273 rushing yards, two touchdowns and averages eight yards per carry. He's already rushed for 70-plus yards three times in 2024. In his last outing, Bigsby had 101 rushing yards and two scores. See who to back at SportsLine .

Quarterback Caleb Williams has settled in and is doing a better job getting the ball into the hands of his playmakers. The USC product has thrown for 1,091 yards and five passing touchdowns this season. He has thrown for 300-plus yards in two of his last three games. In his last outing, Williams went 20-of-29 for 304 yards and two passing touchdowns.
Receiver DJ Moore is an explosive pass-catcher who can be dangerous after the catch. The 27-year-old has 27 receptions for 294 yards and three touchdowns this season.
