NFL standings 2023: Jaguars get a game head start in AFC South

The Jacksonville Jaguars are already alone atop the AFC South standings after they were the only team in the division to get a Week 1 victory.

Jacksonville beat the Indianapolis Colts, 31-21, on Sunday, erasing a fourth quarter deficit with two touchdowns in a 66-second span late in the game. The Baltimore Ravens dominated the second half in a 25-9 win against the Houston Texans. And the New Orleans Saints narrowly beat the Tennessee Titans in a 16-15 field goal-fest.
