The victory moved Jacksonville to 8–4, strengthening its AFC playoff position and keeping the team in the hunt for its first division crown since 2022.
Jacksonville’s defense played a major role, sacking rookie quarterback Cam Ward three times, two of them by Josh Hines-Allen, and forcing a pair of fumbles.
Meanwhile, the Titans dropped to 1–11, suffering their seventh straight loss overall and their 11th consecutive defeat at home, tying the franchise’s worst home skid since relocating to Tennessee.

A penalty set up a two-point conversion run by Lawrence, stretching the lead to 15–3 early in the second quarter. Meyers finished with six catches for 90 yards in his first game paired with Brian Thomas Jr., who returned after missing three contests with an ankle injury.
Meyers' 50-yard grab was the longest of the season by a Jaguars' pass catcher and his touchdown marked the first time this season he has scored in back-to-back games.
Tennessee’s only points came from a 28-yard Joey Slye field goal.

Brown was later ejected following a fourth-quarter altercation, part of a messy sequence that saw personal fouls handed out to players on both sides.
The Titans were flagged 10 times, including a costly roughing-the-passer call on Arden Key that allowed Cam Little to kick a 45-yard field goal on an untimed down before halftime.
Jacksonville wasn’t much cleaner, matching its season high with 13 penalties, but the team still had more than enough to dominate a struggling Tennessee team.
