Commanders prepare for late regular season matchup against Jacksonville Jaguars
Summary

The Washington Commanders face the Jacksonville Jaguars as the final non-divisional opponent of the 2026 regular season. The Jaguars finished the 2025 campaign with a 13-4 record and secured the AFC South title before a 27-24 Wild Card round loss to the Buffalo Bills. Trevor Lawrence returns as the starting quarterback for Jacksonville, coming off a 2025 season with over 4,000 passing yards and 29 touchdowns. The Jaguars defense maintains a strong foundation, having recorded the league's second-most interceptions and fewest rushing yards allowed last year. Washington looks to test that front with its passing attack, while the secondary, led by Trey Amos and Mike Sainristil, prepares for the Jacksonville receiving group. This game marks the first meeting between the two franchises since 2022.
