What are the biggest issues still facing the four teams in the AFC South?
Despite how drastically the United States has changed over the past three months, the NFL has continued to go about its business. Free agency was a breeze and, though the draft was held virtually and the Hall of Fame Game has been canceled, things have been moving forward towards playing the regular season as normal.
Teams are still set to report to training camp on July 28, will go through a four-game preseason and the regular season will get underway on Thursday, Sept. 10 with the Chiefs hosting the Texans. Until then, we’re looking at the biggest questions for the teams in each division.
Four down (AFC East, AFC North, NFC East and the NFC North) and it’s time to look at a division that has somewhat been dominated by one team in recent years as Bill O’Brien’s Houston Texans have captured the AFC South four of the past five years.
Both Mike Vrabel and Frank Reich begin their third seasons with the Tennessee Titans and Indianapolis Colts, respectively, and the former took his team to the AFC title game in 2019. And after coming within one win of Super Bowl LII in 2017, Doug Marrone and the Jacksonville Jaguars have brought up the rear of this division each of the last two seasons.
So what are the biggest issues for each of the four clubs in this division? There’s now less than three months before the start of NFL 2020 and lots of work to be done by each organization in preparation of what could be a very different season.
Note: Teams are listed in order of finish in 2019.
