Nashville, TN – The Jacksonville Jaguars are the Tennessee Titans’ longest-standing division rival. The clubs have met at least twice each year since Jacksonville began play as an expansion franchise in 1995. For the first seven seasons of the rivalry they played in the AFC Central, and since 2002 they have been members of the AFC South.
The teams have met a total of 60 times, with the Titans holding a 35-25 advantage. For eight consecutive seasons (2009–2016), the Titans and Jaguars split the annual series before Tennessee took both matchups in 2017 and 2018. In 2019, they exchanged wins once again before the Titans took both games in 2020 and 2021. In 2022, the Jaguars earned their first sweep over the Titans since 2005.
In the first matchup of 2024, the Jaguars visited Nissan Stadium and handed the Titans a 10-6 defeat. It was the fourth-lowest scoring game in the history of the series.
The last time the Titans traveled to EverBank Stadium was November 19th, 2023. The Titans suffered a 34-14 loss, giving the Jaguars their third consecutive win in the series. Then, in the season-ending rematch on January 7th, 2024, the Titans took a 28-20 victory to deprive the Jaguars of a playoff berth and an AFC South title.
In the 2022 finale, played at EverBank Stadium on January 7th, 2023, the Titans and Jaguars played to decide the AFC South title. The Jaguars scored the game-winning touchdown with less than three minutes remaining on the clock on a 37-yard fumble return by linebacker Josh Allen, ending Tennessee’s season and propelling Jacksonville to the postseason.
The Tennessee Titans and Jacksonville Jaguars have met five times on Thursday Night Football.
The last occasion was September 19th, 2019. The Jaguars won by a final score of 20-7, taking a 3-2 lead in the Thursday night series. Jaguars then-rookie quarterback Gardner Minshew earned his first career victory as a starter in the contest.
On Thursday night, December 6th, 2018, Titans running back Derrick Henry rushed for a then-franchise-record 238 yards and four touchdowns on 17 carries, lifting the Titans to a 30-9 win over the Jaguars. On one of his scores, Henry matched Tony Dorsett to become only the second running back in NFL history to record a 99-yard rushing attempt.
The Jaguars played their first game in franchise history against the then-Houston Oilers on September 3rd, 1995. In Jacksonville, the Oilers won the game by a 10-3 final score.
