NFL Power Rankings Roundup: Where Do the Jaguars Land Entering Week 16?

The Jacksonville Jaguars have plenty of noise surrounding them entering Week 16.
A three-game losing streak, a road test against a hot Tampa Bay Buccaneers team on Christmas Eve, and the potential of not having Trevor Lawrence under center for the first Sunday of his three-year career.
So with all of this in mind, where do the Jaguars land in national power rankings this week?
Fox Sports: No. 15 (-2)
"Just as concerning as Trevor Lawrence’s injury is the continued inability of the Jacksonville defense to get stops. I can’t help but feel like I’ve written the exact same blurb a couple of times in the last few weeks now," Fox Sports said.
NFL.com: No. 10 (-1)
"They made a host of errors early against the Ravens and ended up leaving 13 points on the board by halftime -- two missed field-goal attempts and a potential touchdown blown at the end of the second quarter due to poor clock management and execution. It capped a wicked three-game losing streak for the see-saw franchise, replete with ill-timed penalties, mental lapses and blown assignments. Now a three-game divisional lead is gone. Trevor Lawrence has shown incredible toughness in not missing a single start -- even when it looked dicey twice this season. But he had some regrettable errors against Baltimore, coughing up an unforced fumble in the red zone (one of two in the game) and mishandling the late first-half possession, stalling out inside the 5-yard line as the clock ran out. The questions are mounting in Jacksonville," NFL.com said.
USA Today: No. 13 (-1)
"Losing three in a row, all to AFC North teams, has completely eroded what had been a comfortable lead in the AFC South. Fortunately for the Jags – mathematically anyway – their final three games equate to the league's easiest remaining schedule (based on opponents' collective winning percentage)," USA Today said.
Bleacher Report: No. 10 (-5)
"It's getting away from the Jacksonville Jaguars. A few weeks ago, the Jaguars were an 8-3 team competing for the No. 1 overall seed in the AFC. Now, after getting pasted by the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday night, the Jags' lead in the AFC South is gone. Jacksonville has gone from vying for home-field advantage to potentially missing the postseason altogether," Bleacher Report said.
CBS Sports: No. 10 (-1)
"Three straight losses has them in a position where they might not make the playoffs. Oh, how this season has gone bad for this group," CBS Sports said.
Yahoo! Sports: No. 11 (0)
"The Jaguars have opened the door for the Texans and Colts to steal the division. It's a three-way tie now. Jacksonville has the easiest remaining schedule among the three and tiebreaker advantages too, but they should have run away with the AFC South and didn't. And it doesn't get easier with Trevor Lawrence in concussion protocol," Yahoo! Sports said.
