Ava Collins: "Jacksonville's ground game—172 yards to Chicago's 84—was the difference in an 28-20 win that should've been a blowout. The Jaguars coughed it up 4 times and still pulled away, which tells you how badly they controlled this one on the ground." Luca Santana: "Jacksonville's 4 turnovers should have cost them this game—that's championship-level luck—but at 8-4 they're still playing like a team that wins close ones, while Chicago at 3-9 keeps finding new ways to lose them."
