ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) -Besides Houston, there's one other nagging opponent coach Jack Del Rio and his Jacksonville Jaguars haven't been able to defeat this season: perception. Try as he might, Del Rio has difficulty comprehending why the Jaguars are being singled out as a model of inconsistency in an otherwise parity-laden NFL. ``I think people get carried away in hype, believing that teams are so great and unbeatable and that teams are so bad and not capable of winning,'' Del Rio said. ``I think there's a |

Two of the Texans' three wins on the year have come against the Jacksonville Jaguars (who smoked the Jets by a 41-0 count back in Week 5), and Gary Kubiak's club is 1-7 against all other opponents. Houston will be making its second trip to the swamps of Jersey in four weeks, after playing the Giants there to open the November portio |

| (MySportsbook) - A pair of AFC teams looking to build on Week 11 victories square off this Sunday, as the Buffalo Bills host the Jacksonville Jaguars at Ralph Wilson Stadium. Jacksonville is coming off an impressive 26-10 Monday night victory over a tough New York Giants team, and has won three of its last four games. The Jags took advantage of a poor performance by Giants quarterback Eli Manning, and rode the wave of strong play by their own signal-caller, David Garrard, and a smothering defense. Garrard made h |

| (MySportsbook) - The injuries on defense are starting to take a toll on the New York Giants, a fact that was quite apparent in Monday night's 26-10 loss against the Jacksonville Jaguars. New York is playing without Pro Bowl defensive ends Michael Strahan and Osi Umenyiora, as well as starting cornerback Sam Madison. The Jags exploited the wounded New York defense for 414 yards of total offense, sending the Giants to their second straight loss after a five-game winning streak. Jacksonville converted 9-of-18 third |

| (MySportsbook) - The only person who wound up looking better than the Jacksonville Jaguars on Monday night may have been their head coach. Jack Del Rio opted for some classic attire in this week's prime time matchup against the New York Giants, as he received special dispensation to wear a suit and tie from the powers that be in the NFL home office. While no sane person would confuse my fashion sense with Isaac Mizrahi's, Del Rio's attire seems to be a welcome change in a league that can sometimes be a tad bit o |

SHUTOUTS The shutout was the second that the Jets have had to endure this season, after getting shellacked 41-0 by the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 5. The last time the Jets were blanked twice in the same season came back in 1989.

Cornerback Andre Woolfolk incurred a mild ankle sprain and should not miss any substantial time. NEXT WEEK The Titans host the New York Giants next week in another battle against the NFC East. The Giants are coming in on a short week after being defeated by the Jacksonville Jaguars, 26-10, on Monday night. The Giants lead the series, 5-3, but the Titans have captured the last two. |

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) -At some point, the defensive losses might be too much for the Jacksonville Jaguars to overcome. They don't believe they've reached it yet, even after losing safety Donovin Darius for the season with a broken right leg Monday night against the New York Giants. ``That's a big injury for us,'' safety Gerald Sensabaugh said Tuesday. ``He was our leader on the field and he's a tough guy to replace. But once somebody goes down, we can't stay down about it. We have to fill his shoes and mov |
