The Jaguars are about to hit a brutal stretch on the calendar, and it starts with the one game that actually counts as a true home date at EverBank Stadium.
Sunday’s matchup with the Colts is Jacksonville’s only real home game across an eight-week span. After that, the Jaguars are back into a run that keeps them away from EverBank for nearly the rest of the month and beyond.
The sequence has already been lopsided. From Weeks 4 through 6, Jacksonville went on the road to Cincinnati, then served as the designated home team against Philadelphia and Houston - two games that were both played in London. A bye in Week 7 offered a breather, but it doesn’t change the bigger picture: the Jaguars are in the middle of a road-heavy stretch that keeps testing their routine.
Once the Colts leave town after the Nov. 1 game, the schedule turns right back against Jacksonville. The Jaguars then have three straight road games, starting in Baltimore, then Tennessee, and then against the New York Giants.
Their next game at EverBank Stadium after Sunday won’t come until Week 12, when they host the Titans on Nov. 29.
Here’s how that stretch lays out:
Week 4: at Bengals, 1:00 PM
Week 5: vs. Eagles (London), 9:30 AM
Week 6: vs. Texans (London), 9:30 AM
Week 7: BYE
Week 8: vs. Colts, 1:00 PM
Week 9: at Ravens, 8:15 (TNF)
Week 10: at Titans, 1:00 PM
Week 11: at Giants, 1:00 PM
The unusual setup comes with EverBank Stadium undergoing renovations, which has reduced seating capacity this season. Looking ahead, the Jaguars are set to play their home games at Camping World Stadium in Orlando in 2027.
Liam Coen addressed the challenge during the offseason, saying the mindset he wants from his team is "any one, any time, any way."

Jaguars Are Rolling At Home But One New Concern Just Loomed
The Jaguars kept their home dominance rolling against the Colts, and the latest win only added to what has become a striking pattern in Jacksonville. It was their seventh straight home victory by 17 or more points, a run that ties for the third-longest in NFL history, and they have topped 30 points in all three home games this season.
But the bigger concern coming out of Sunday was the injury list. Eric Murray, Ezra Cleveland and DaVon Hamilton all got hurt during the game, and Hamiltons knee issue looked especially troubling as the Jaguars head into a short week. Jacksonville now has to turn around quickly for Thursday nights matchup with the Ravens, a test made even more complicated by Baltimores own quarterback injury situation. [Read more 🡒]
Jaguars Crushed The Colts But Left Fans With One Big Worry
The Jaguars had just about everything working in their 42-7 rout of the Colts, from a dominant ground game to another emphatic home win in the AFC South rivalry. Rookie Nate Boerkircher scored his first touchdown, and Bhayshul Tuten and Chris Rodriguez powered the offense with a combined 217 total yards and three scores, giving Jacksonville a lopsided result that fit the tone of the afternoon.
But the victory came with a cost that could linger beyond Week 8. Davon Hamilton, Eric Murray, Ezra Cleveland and Travon Walker all went down with injuries during the game, leaving the Jaguars with a postgame concern that could matter far more than the final score if those absences stretch into the coming weeks.

Jaguars Get A Needed WR Boost Before A Huge Colts Test
The Jaguars got a welcome bit of clarity before a pivotal AFC South matchup, with the Week 8 inactive list showing Jakobi Meyers available against the Colts despite the earlier injury concern. His presence gives Jacksonville another option in the passing game alongside Parker Washington, and it comes at a time when the offense could use as many dependable targets as possible heading into a divisional test.
Several other players are on the inactive list, so the roster picture is not entirely clean, but the biggest takeaway for Jacksonville is that Meyers is in uniform for a game that carries real weight in the standings. Trevor Lawrence has already voiced confidence in what this group can be, and now the Jaguars get a chance to back that up with a healthier receiving setup in front of a key home stretch. [Read more 🡒]
