The Jacksonville Jaguars’ regular season finale will start at 1 p.m. on Sunday, the NFL announced near the end of a Sunday Night Football game in Week 17.
The Jaguars will be the AFC South champions if they beat the Tennessee Titans in Nashville on Jan. 7. But a day before Jacksonville gets that chance, the Indianapolis Colts and Houston Texans will play Saturday night to take temporary control of the division.

If the Jaguars lose to the Titans, they can still get in the playoffs. Jacksonville would need the Baltimore Ravens to beat the Pittsburgh Steelers on Saturday and the Las Vegas Raiders to beat the Denver Broncos later in the day Sunday.
Anything less than a win against the Titans would be a massive disappointment, though.
Tennessee lost by 20 in its Week 11 game at EverBank Stadium and dropped to 5-11 on the year with a 26-3 loss to the Texans in Week 17.
Last season, the Jaguars beat the Titans in a Week 18 primetime game to secure the AFC South title.
