In a decisive victory, the Jacksonville Jaguars topped the Indianapolis Colts 38-13 in Week 8 of the 2026 season. With this win, the Jaguars keep their playoff aspirations alive while the Colts continue to struggle in the competitive AFC South. Trevor Lawrence was the standout performer, throwing for 309 yards and four touchdowns, showcasing his elite playmaking ability. Brian Thomas Jr. was a key target, racking up 137 receiving yards, which helped propel the Jaguars' offense. Despite Jonathan Taylor's efforts on the ground with 54 rushing yards for the Colts, they were unable to keep pace with Jacksonville’s offensive onslaught. Defensively, Jarrian Jones made a critical impact with an interception, helping to shift momentum in favor of the Jaguars. The Jaguars' defense, while not overwhelming, held the Colts to just two touchdowns and consistently pressured their quarterback. The game's turning point came early in the second half when the Jaguars scored back-to-back touchdowns, putting them firmly in control and leaving the Colts with little chance to recover.
