The Jacksonville Jaguars missed a golden opportunity to seize control of the AFC South division when they lost by 10 to the Indianapolis Colts. Not only that RB Maurice Jones-Drew is doubtful against the Redskins this week. The Redskins, while in the midst of a controversy-ridden and disappointing season, have played hard every week. The Jaguars are so dependent on Jones-Drew that even the Redskins defense will have an opportunity to stop them. To make matters worse, RB Ryan Torain is having a great season, potentially earning a starting job for next season. The Jaguars defense has been shaky all season. This might be another heartbreaking loss the Jaguars are accustomed to each December.
Worse news for the Jaguars is that the Colts get RB Joseph Addai back in the lineup. He gives the Colts a RB who can pass protect and run the ball more effectively. The Colts have missed him a lot and will see a significant offensive improvement this weekend. This year's Colts are the opposite of earlier teams. Usually, the Colts are in good form early but fade by the playoffs. This year the Colts have endured many injuries. With the return of Addai, the Colts will only get better as the season ends and the playoffs begin.
