The Jacksonville Jaguars are again on the rise in the latest Week 14 NFL power rankings from ESPN.
After coming in at No. 14 a week ago, the Jaguars are now No. 13, following Sunday's 25-3 win over the Tennessee Titans.

The Jaguars' most recent win was an excellent display of complementary football, particularly in the first half, which put the game out of reach for Tennessee early on.
After the Titans' field goal on their opening possession, the Jaguars' offense responded with a touchdown. On the ensuing kickoff, the special teams unit forced a fumble, and the Jacksonville offense turned that into a touchdown a few plays later.
In a matter of minutes, the Jaguars went from trailing 3-0 to being up 15-3. The defense then ended the first half with three consecutive three-and-outs and a turnover on downs. Cam Little then hit a field goal to make it 18-3 at halftime.

Up next for the Jaguars is a matchup at home against the Colts, who come in at No. 10 in ESPN's rankings.
