Outlook:The Jaguars with Sunday's victory moved out of a three-way tie with the Chargers and Bills, with those two teams now tied with the Colts for the last three "playoff spots." The tie means the tiebreaker is decided by conference record; the Chargers are 7-2 in AFC games, with the Colts at 6-3 and the Bills at 5-3. The Jaguars have head-to-head victories this season over the Chargers (35-6) and Kansas City Chiefs (31-28), meaning they would win the tiebreaker in a two-way tie with those teams.
