The Buffalo Bills and Jacksonville Jaguars have a surprisingly even history despite their contrasting fortunes in recent years. The Jaguars hold a narrow 10-9 lead in the overall series, boosted by a 2-0 record in playoff matchups. However, when it comes to regular season contests, the Bills hold a slight 9-8 advantage.
Recent history, however, favors Jacksonville. The Jaguars have come out on top in their last two meetings with the Bills, including a 9-6 victory in the 2021 season. Buffalo will be looking to reverse this trend, especially after their recent 25-20 loss to Jacksonville in London this season.
That game in London saw Jaguars running back Travis Etienne run riot, racking up 136 rushing yards and two touchdowns. The Bills defense struggled to contain Jacksonville’s ground game, giving up a total of 196 rushing yards.
Adding another layer to this matchup is the quarterback battle between Josh Allen and Trevor Lawrence. Lawrence boasts a perfect 2-0 record against Allen and the Bills.
In their two encounters, Allen has thrown for 623 yards and two touchdowns but has also been intercepted three times. Lawrence, on the other hand, has remained interception-free against Buffalo.
Bills head coach Sean McDermott will be aiming to improve his 1-3 record against Jacksonville. His sole victory came during the 2017 regular season with the Bills.
