The Jacksonville Jaguars are garnering more recognition following a statement primetime win.
Jacksonville cruised to a 33-10 road victory over the Baltimore Ravens on Thursday Night Football. They're now 6-2 with the NFL's best scoring margin (+108), and national pundits are taking notice.
Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio called the Jaguars "the real deal" after their Week 9 win.

"It's time to take very seriously the Jacksonville Jaguars as a Super Bowl contender," Florio declared. "It's time to take very seriously Trevor Lawrence as the MVP. It's time to take very seriously Liam Coen as the Coach of the Year."
Florio noted that the Jaguars are now 19-6 with eight wins of 20 points or more since Coen took over as head coach last year. They've notched four of those lopsided triumphs this season, outscoring the Ravens and Indianapolis Colts by 58 points in consecutive games.
They throttled a Ravens team playing undrafted rookie quarterback Joe Fagnano, but the Jaguars still look like one of the league's strongest squads. Oddsmakers are watching, as only the Buffalo Bills, San Francisco 49ers, and Chicago Bears have shorter odds to win the Super Bowl than Jacksonville (+850) on FanDuel Sportsbook.

Florio implored NFL spectators to respect the Jaguars as a legitimate title threat. They could stay hot during their first of two November matchups against the struggling Tennessee Titans in Week 10.
"The Jaguars could get to the Super Bowl this year, and they could win it," Florio said. "And people will be surprised because they haven't been paying attention. It's time to start paying attention. The Jacksonville Jaguars are for real, and the Jacksonville Jaguars may be here to stay."
