NFL Power Rankings 2020, Week 12: Chiefs claim No. 1 spot, Packers drop again

Looking back at Week 1 in this strange season, there is no more perplexing result than the Jacksonville Jaguars beating the Colts. Because at the Week 11 mark of the season, one team is in the playoff hunt looking like a contender and the other is all but locked into a top-five pick in the 2021 draft. The latter team is the Jags.

On Sunday, Jake Luton made another start for Jacksonville and actually had the team looking a little frisky as they hosted the undefeated Pittsburgh Steelers. The Jaguars actually led 3-0 after the first quarter as the defense was playing one of the best periods of football in recent memory while the offense was doing fine.

The wheels, however, fell off soon after. The Steelers put up 17 unanswered points in the second quarter and 27 unanswered overall to earn the 27-3 win. Luton looked like a late-round rookie playing against the best defense in the NFL as he threw four picks while the banged-up Jacksonville defense has no answers for the host of Pittsburgh weapons.

Now 1-9 on the year, the Jaguars are almost surely going to have the No. 1 or No. 2 pick in April’s draft. That selection will almost surely be a quarterback and, after watching Luton in Week 11, the new franchise quarterback hopeful can’t arrive in Duval County soon enough.
