Personnel, they got three tight ends lined up at like this angle where you just feel like they're going to run it that way. They run it the other direction. They make positive gains. It's just like they were completely comfortable. They've been completely comfortable in a lot of these games. And if you look at their schedule, they. They ran a graphic in the second half as they were getting through their blowout material where they're looking ahead with the Jaguars, and they said they have the easiest remaining strength of schedule. Six of their last nine games are on the road. Two of them are against Tennessee, one's against. Well, you get Washington, you get Indianapolis to end the season. It helps that you're in the AFC south, which is a division that nobody wants to win except the Jaguars. Like, that definitely makes it an easier schedule. But right now, you talk about future tests, don't really see that many. Chicago is the one game. Yeah, I looked at. Chicago is the one game where they'll definitely be an underdog the rest of the season. They also have an A.T. houston, you know, who beat them, and an A.T. new York Giants. If I'm setting the line for those games right now, Jaguars are probably still favored in both of those games. Slightly on the road. And you look at the rest of the conference, we're going to get to it. But they're obviously, like, in the mix for the one seed. Obviously a Super bowl contender, because unlike the Bills, unlike the Broncos and Chiefs, anyone else you want, like, they just don't have to worry about anyone in their own division. We can give them the division right now before we do move on from this game. That Parker Washington touchdown, you know, he's had five touchdowns this year. Here's the length of them. 30 yards, 17 yards, 51 yards, 27 yards, and then tonight's 50. That is a big playmaker who is making himself a lot of money this year. And his emergence over the last year and a half is part of the reason why we talked about Brian Thomas Jr. As a potential trade candidate, because they don't necessarily need somebody like that to step up and be wide receiver one or consistent playmaker, because Parker Washington is just handling it and he has a perfect role in this offense. I do have to give a little bit of a defense to our producer, Eric Roberts, though, because I understand what he was saying in some. In some respects, there. There were. There were some plays where it was like, this is a check down. That's a run that ends up leading to fourth and one. I think they punted one time they settled for a field goal. Another time there were some opportunities where you think, if the weather's not bad, that this is, you know, a long completion in Washington probably gets another touchdown at some point. And so, like, the low ceiling, the low, lower output just kind of illustrates the standard that we have for this Jaguars offense, which is that we expect him to come out and be explosive, no matter the opponent. And, and, and that's just a side of a really good team that look, this economy crazy. They're 6 and 2. It's. It's early November. I'm going to call my shot right now.
