Preview, prediction, what to pay attention to

A look at the Week 15 game between the Jets and Jaguars in Jacksonville, Florida:

Marquee matchup

The Jaguars rely on rushers Travon Walker and Josh Hines-Allen. The Jets attack Olu Fashanu and Morgan Moses

The Jets’ offensive line protected Aaron Rodgers pretty well last week until they gave up a few sacks late in the game. The challenge will be greater this week.

Walker, the No. 1 overall pick in 2022, has 8.5 sacks in this game and Hines-Allen has seven sacks.

Fashanu, the team’s first-round pick this year, has played well since filling in for the injured Tyron Smith.

Last week, he allowed four pressures on 43 pass-blocking snaps against the Dolphins.

Moses was one of the Jets’ team leaders and is suffering from a left wrist injury that will require him to wear a cast.

Rodgers played his best game of the season last week and showed what he can do when given some time to operate.

This week’s mission will be to slow down Walker and Hines-Allen.

“They’re not the best edge tandem, but they’re at the top, they’re both just so similar in that way,” interim coach Jeff Ulbrich said. “They are both long and fast, physical and relentless and yes, it will be a big challenge. We have to account for these guys on every single snap, and the second they don’t, they can win a game for sure. So it will be a big challenge for our tackles.”

Costello’s call

The Jets have made an art of blowing games, but I think they can pull this one off.

The Jaguars stink.

You can argue that the Jets do that too, but I think they break their losing streak and get a win in the fourth quarter.

Offensive Encore: The Jets offense finally showed some life last week against the Dolphins. Can they repeat it against the Jaguars?

They had a season-high 402 total yards and quarterback Aaron Rodgers snapped a streak of 34 games without a 300-yard passing game as he threw for 339 yards.

The Jaguars rank last in yards allowed and 31st in passing yards allowed this season.

The Jets haven’t scored more than 27 points in a game this year. Could this be the week?

“The situational football hasn’t been great for us and that’s why we haven’t reached 30 (points) yet,” Rodgers said. “Situation football is a lot about details, and that was kind of our Achilles heel. I think the pieces were often about tiny details.”

Mac attack: The Jaguars lost quarterback Trevor Lawrence for the season, meaning the Jets will meet Mac Jones this week.

The Jets know Jones from his time with the Patriots. In fact, Jones is 5-0 against the Jets in his career.

Jones helped the Jaguars to a 10-6 victory over the Titans last week, but is 1-4 in his last five starts, with no touchdowns and eight interceptions.

“In my career so far, they are the best defense I have faced every year,” Jones said. “Obviously they know me and I have some former teammates there and guys I played against five, six times.

“I’m definitely looking forward to it. I know their record is the same, but their defense is truly unique.”

Feel the pressure: The Jets had no sacks or quarterback hits on Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa last week, even though he threw 47 passes.

The Jets dismissed that this week, pointing out how quickly Tagovailoa got rid of the ball.

The question this week is whether they can have more of an impact at quarterback than they did against the Dolphins.

Will McDonald has been the Jets’ only consistent pass rusher this season with 10 sacks. Quinnen Williams has six sacks and it’s all downhill from there.

The team greatly missed Jermaine Johnson, who suffered a season-ending injury in Week 2. Haason Reddick has made little impact since joining the team in October, with just one half-sack.

Breece is back: The Jets expect running back Breece Hall to be back this week after missing the Dolphins game with a knee injury.

Hall has 692 rushing yards, so he has a chance to get to 1,000 yards with a big finish to the season. Hall has 46 tackles, second on the team behind Garrett Wilson, so he will also help in the passing game.

The Jets could have a nice three-headed rushing attack with Hall, Braelon Allen and Isaiah Davis, who came off the bench in the last two games.
