They lost to the Los Angeles Chargers and the Baltimore Ravens, both currently positioned for playoff contention. While Miami split its season series with the Buffalo Bills, tiebreakers remain unfavorable.The Jaguars currently hold the third and final wild-card position at 6-4, with the Texans, ravens, and Chiefs also ahead of Miami in the race.
