The Jacksonville Jaguars knocked off the Tennessee Titans in the last game of the regular season to claim the AFC South and the right to host a first-round playoff game. It’s the first time the Jaguars have been to the playoffs since 2017. They begin their 2023 playoff campaign against the dangerous Los Angeles Chargers, who won 10 games this season (one more than the Jags) behind a high-powered offense led by quarterback Justin Herbert. The Jaguars and Chargers Wild Card game kicks off in Jacksonville on Saturday at 8:15 p.m. ET (5:15 p.m. PT) on NBC and Peacock.
