NASHVILLE, Tenn. (Interstat) — In a stunning reversal of pregame expectations, the Jacksonville Jaguars delivered a commanding and one-sided performance, dismantling the Tennessee Titans 25-3 on Sunday at Nissan Stadium.

The game, which saw the Jaguars improve to 8-4 and the Titans fall to a dismal 1-11, was a showcase of Jacksonville’s efficiency and Tennessee’s profound offensive struggles. The result defied both the betting lines, which had installed the Titans as 5.5-point favorites, and a statistical projection that forecast a Tennessee victory.

Jacksonville set the tone early and never relented. The Jaguars opened the scoring on their second possession, capping a 68-yard drive with a 3-yard touchdown pass from Trevor Lawrence to Jakobi Meyers. The extra point from Cam Little gave Jacksonville a 7-0 lead midway through the first quarter.

Tennessee responded with their only points of the contest. A promising 13-play, 62-yard drive, fueled by the running of Tony Pollard, stalled at the Jacksonville 10-yard line. Kicker Joey Slye converted a 28-yard field goal to cut the deficit to 7-3.

Any momentum the Titans gained was immediately extinguished. The Jaguars engineered a swift 68-yard scoring drive to close the first quarter, culminating in another Lawrence touchdown pass, this one a 21-yard strike to tight end Brenton Strange. Lawrence then powered his way into the end zone on a successful two-point conversion attempt, extending the Jacksonville lead to 15-3 just seconds into the second quarter.

From that point forward, the Jacksonville defense took over, completely stifling the Titans’ offense. Tennessee quarterback Cam Ward was under constant duress, sacked four times and unable to generate any sustained drives. The Titans managed just 141 total yards of offense through the air and were repeatedly forced to punt.

The Jaguars added to their lead just before halftime. A methodical two-minute drill, highlighted by key completions from Lawrence to Meyers and Strange, set up a 45-yard field goal from Cam Little as time expired in the half, sending Jacksonville into the locker room with a commanding 18-3 advantage.

Any doubt about the outcome was erased on Jacksonville’s first possession of the second half. The Jaguars marched 71 yards on 11 plays, with the drive concluding on a 2-yard touchdown run by Bhayshul Tuten. Little’s extra point pushed the lead to 25-3.

The remainder of the game was a defensive clinic by Jacksonville and an exercise in futility for Tennessee. The Titans crossed midfield only a handful of times and never seriously threatened to score again. Jacksonville backup quarterback Nick Mullens took over for the final series, kneeling three times to run out the clock and seal the decisive victory.

Statistically, the disparity was stark. Trevor Lawrence was efficient, completing 16 of 27 passes for 229 yards and two touchdowns, while adding 25 rushing yards. His primary target was Jakobi Meyers, who was instrumental in moving the chains. The Jacksonville ground game was a committee effort, with Travis Etienne Jr. and Bhayshul Tuten, who scored a rushing touchdown, sharing the load.

For Tennessee, the day was defined by offensive ineptitude. Cam Ward completed 24 of 38 passes for a paltry 141 yards and was sacked four times. Tony Pollard was a rare bright spot, rushing for 60 yards on 10 carries, but the passing game could not find any rhythm. Tight end Gunnar Helm led the team with six receptions, but they netted only 23 yards.

Defensively, the Titans were led by linebacker Cedric Gray, who recorded nine tackles. Safety Kevin Winston Jr. added eight tackles and a sack. For Jacksonville, linebacker Devin Lloyd spearheaded the dominant defensive effort with eight tackles, while Montaric Brown and Foyesade Oluokun contributed seven and six tackles, respectively.

The victory solidifies Jacksonville’s position in the AFC playoff picture as they head into a crucial divisional matchup against the Indianapolis Colts next week. For the Titans, the loss extends a deeply disappointing season, with a trip to Cleveland on the horizon offering little respite from their struggles. The two teams are scheduled to meet again in the regular season finale on Jan. 3, 2026, in Jacksonville.
