JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) -The New England Patriots were without tight end Benjamin Watson and nose tackle Vince Wilfork against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday.

Safety Rodney Harrison returned after missing six games with a broken shoulder blade, and running back Laurence Maroney was back after sitting out two games with torn rib cartilage. The Jaguars played without running bac |

| (MySportsbook) - The New England Patriots will become the latest team to try to solve the mystery of Alltel Stadium on Sunday, when they visit the Jacksonville Jaguars in a game rife with postseason implications. The Jaguars, who are tied with the similarly 8-6 Bengals, Broncos, and Jets in a quest for two AFC Wild Card slots, have gone a dominant 6-1 at home in 2006, compared to 2-5 away from Alltel. Each of those six wins have come against teams that enter Week 16 in the playoff chase, including thrashings of |

The hard-bitten Parcells disciple - who had earned a reputation as a sideline tough guy during success-laden pre-New Jersey stops at Boston College and with the Jacksonville Jaguars - has more recently resembled a flustered rookie store clerk during "affluent housewife shopping day" at the nearby Short Hills Mall.

Tennessee tied a franchise record with three defensive touchdowns in a 24-17 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars last Sunday at LP Field. Chris Hope and Pacman Jones both returned interceptions for touchdowns, while a third defensive back, rookie Cortland Finnegan, recovered a fumble and raced 92 yards for a score of his own.

The New York Jets, Cincinnati Bengals, Denver Broncos and Jacksonville Jaguars - who lost to Tennessee 24-17 last week on three defensive touchdowns - all are tied at 8-6. The Titans are tied with Buffalo, Pittsburgh and Kansas City at 7-7. But the Titans have an edge over Pittsburgh and Kansas City for now. That makes Sunda |

| |
| (MySportsbook) - The Jacksonville Jaguars' season has been such a roller coaster ride this season that one could get motion sickness just by looking at the results. The biggest contributing factor to the Jags lack of consistency has been their inability to win on the road. With this week's loss in Tennessee, Jack Del Rio's club fell to 2-5 as the visiting club this season. To make matters worse, four of those road setbacks have come against teams with .500 records or worse. The loss in Houston was a bad one, as |

| (MySportsbook) - Titans' head coach Jeff Fisher should consider putting out an APB on his offense. Despite the fact that the Titans earned a 24-17 victory over the playoff- caliber Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday, the Titans offense was virtually non- existent. Vince Young, the man anointed by most to be the NFL's Rookie of the Year, completed eight passes in 15 attempts for only 85 yards. He only ran four times for four yards, and considering how he single-handedly beat three teams in the last five weeks, the wi |
