With the offseason here for the Jacksonville Jaguars, the focus quickly shifts to what’s next. However, looking back at what happened in 2024 can help guide us through what might be coming down the line.
To help with that, let’s take a look back at where the Jaguars ranked as a team compared to the rest of the NFL in several key statistical categories.
The value of this is that it can provide some insights around what was working and can be built upon moving forward, along with what needs to be addressed.
With so many stats and metrics out there, it could have been easy to go overboard with information. However, in an effort to be concise while still highlighting pertinent information, I boiled down my stat selection to the basics of football: run game performance, passing game performance, pressures, turnovers, third down and red zone success, and points.
So coming out of the regular season, here is where the Jaguars stand in those key categories with the help of Team Rankings and Pro Football Reference.
