19. Minshew goes fourth game in a row without interception

Once the offseason officially gets underway, the Jacksonville Jaguars will have one of the biggest decisions on their hands in regards to figuring out their future at quarterback between Nick Foles and Gardner Minshew.

A few months ago, there was plenty of excitement surrounding the Jaguars finally finding a reliable quarterback in Foles since the Philadelphia Eagles made it clear that Carson Wentz was the quarterback of the future.

But after Minshew emerged out of nowhere to fill in for Foles after the former Super Bowl MVP suffered an injury back in Week 1, Jacksonville seems to be weighing all options in regards to their future at quarterback.

The fact that Jacksonville made the decision about a month ago to allow Minshew to finish the season out as the starter shows the future is uncertain for Foles with the Jaguars.

And since Minshew has the advantage of being able to show off his skills in Week 17, expect the rookie to play well enough against the Indianapolis Colts where the consideration continues.

Minshew finishing the last three games without an interception may not seem like the biggest deal in the world, but if the trend continues to help beat the Colts, it will only make his case stronger
