If the Jaguars' Week 18 game against the Tennessee Titans is for AFC South title, it could be flexed to weekend prime-time, a rarity for franchise.
The belief is if the Cincinnati Bengals-Baltimore Ravens game decides the AFC North title or quarterbackhas a playoff berth riding on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ last game with the Atlanta Falcons, those matchups would be considered more desirable for NBC. The NFL won’t reveal the Week 18 schedule until the Week 17 results are in.
No Jaguars player knows more about being in the national television spotlight than receiver Marvin Jones, whose teams in Cincinnati and Detroit made nine appearances each on “Sunday Night Football” and “Monday Night Football” from 2011-19. The Jaguars’ last appearance in either game was Dec. 5, 2011, when they lost 38-14 at home on MNF to the then San Diego Chargers and quarterbackJones would love the opportunity to get back on a weekend prime-time stage against the Titans in two weeks.
“When you’re playing football, you want to be in those games. It’s great to put yourself and the team on display.”would welcome national television exposure for the Titans game, but is just as interested in experiencing the TIAA Bank Field atmosphere. That was a reference to Dallas Cowboys fans occupying what appeared to be half the stadium in their 40-34 overtime loss last week. Jaguars’ fans wanting to see their team getting national exposure in prime-time against Tennessee for the AFC South title should probably root for the Bengals and Brady’s Buccaneers to clinch their respective division titles before Week 18.
