Nashville, TN – The Jacksonville Jaguars are the Tennessee Titans’ longest-standing division rival. The clubs have met at least twice yearly since Jacksonville began playing 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 58 times, with the Titans holding a 34-24 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 2023, the Titans traveled to EverBank Stadium and suffered a 34-14 loss, giving the Jaguars their third consecutive win in the series. Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence completed two touchdown passes to Calvin Ridley and also rushed for two scores.
The Jaguars last visited Nissan Stadium on December 11th, 2022. Lawrence passed for 368 yards and three touchdowns, spearheading a 36-22 Jaguars win. The Jaguars forced four turnovers in the victory.
The 2022 rematch was four weeks later at EverBank Stadium on January 7th, 2023. In a game that decided 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.
The Titans and 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.
