The winless Jacksonville Jaguars (0-4) return to action on Sunday, Oct. 10, for the first time since Urban Meyer’s “inexcusable” behavior in an Ohio bar when they host the Titans (2-2). The game will be live streamed on fuboTV and Paramount+.
Jacksonville has dropped a franchise-record 19 consecutive games, seven shy of tying the longest skid in NFL history.
One of the youngest teams in the league looked like it was making progress in recent weeks, culminating with a 24-21 loss at Cincinnati last Thursday. But the week since has been far from normal, even for a seemingly dysfunctional franchise that has been mostly a league laughingstock the past two decades.
A win against the Titans would be the best way for Meyer and the Jags to turn the page.
Facing the Titans might not be the easiest way to move on.
Tennessee has won three straight and seven of the last 10 in the series. Derrick Henry ran for 215 yards and two touchdowns in Jacksonville last December.
The defending division champs had a chance to be 3-1 after the first four weeks, but they lost in overtime last week at the New York Jets. They already provided one winless team its first victory of the season and surely don’t want to do it again.
Better protection for quarterback Ryan Tannehill would help. Tannehill has been sacked 17 times in four games, including 13 in Tennessee’s two losses.

Preview
MORE WARD: Ward welcomed a chance to explain what was going on in Jacksonville’s locker room and made it clear that, as far as he was concerned, Meyer’s mishap would have no bearing on the game or the season.
“People laughing about it, people joking about it, that’s fine,” Ward said. “But at the end of the day, we got to move forward. We can’t worry about this stuff. Because if we lose this game, he is not to be the blame of this mess that we got going on. He’s not going to be the blame of it. And I won’t allow that to happen. So this is not a defend-my-head-coach situation. This is we’re not worried about this (stuff).”
HERE COMES THAT MAN: Henry has a track record of running well against the Jaguars, the team closest to his hometown in Yulee, Florida. He has 1,013 yards rushing and 11 touchdowns against Jacksonville. He’s currently the NFL’s leading rusher — he has 510 yards already — and he’s run for at least 150 yards in three straight road games. No one in NFL history has done that in four straight.
BANGED-UP TITANS: The Titans are working through a lengthy injury report. Nine players didn’t practice Thursday and three more were limited. Three starting offensive linemen are nursing injuries: left tackle Taylor Lewan (toe), left guard Rodger Saffold (concussion) and center Ben Jones (neck). Receiver A.J. Brown (hamstring) missed most of the last two games, and Julio Jones (hamstring) was scratched last week.
