Jaguars vs. Titans Podcast: Breaking Down Week 18, Playoff Push and More

In fewer than 36 hours, the entire story of the Jacksonville Jaguars is set to change.
The Jaguars are inching closer and closer to this season's finish line, ending the year with a Week 18 do-or-die game vs. their most bitter of rivals in the Tennessee Titans.
"We understand that’s the nature of this game. It’s win and you’re in. Both teams are in the same situation. Guys have been great this week," Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson said on Thursday.
"They’ve handled it well. Biggest thing for us, obviously, a little bit of a shorter week, is just the recovery aspect of it and being as healthy as possible for Saturday night. Guys have done a nice job of the practices that we’ve had and mental side of it. They’re obviously gearing up and getting excited and they’ll be ready to go.”
With the most important game in recent memory -- if not in the entire history of the franchise -- looming large, the JaguarReport Podcast has made its return.
"These are games that, they are playoff games. That’s exactly what it is. Call it what it is. It’s a playoff football game," Pederson said. You win, you keep going."
In this week's episode, hosts John Shipley and Gus Logue debate exactly how the Jaguars got to this spot, who deserves the most praise for their turnaround, which parts of the team are for real and much, much more.
