The Jacksonville Jaguars will be traveling to play the Tennessee Titans for Week 2 of the 2020 NFL season.
While it’s early in the season, this game will define the season. The team has struggled recently in Nashville, not able to win an away game against the Titans since 2013. But last week, Jacksonville proved their offense is more than functional enough to score. If their defense can continue to play “bend-but-don’t-break” football, this Week 2 matchup is going to be closer than people think.
Stay with us all through the afternoon as we live blog the game as it happens, and feel free to join the conversation in the comments as the day progresses. We’ll have postgame coverage as well following the conclusion of the game.
LET’S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

4:00 PM: Game over. Gardner Minshew’s pass batted at the line. I’m sick.

3:35 PM: TIE BALL GAME! Gardner Minshew with an absolute dime and Chris Thompson with a hell of a catch. We’re at 30-30 in the fourth quarter.

2:26 PM: A nice field goal drive is negated by a terrible squib kick from Josh Lambo. Tennessee gets the field goal. Halftime score is 24-10. Yikes.
2:17 PM: Another touchdown from Ryan Tannehill to Jonnu Smith. This is getting bad.

2:09 PM: Long drive by the Titans being extended by some of the worst calls I’ve ever seen. Atrocious refereeing.
2 pathetic calls in a row by the refs #Jaguars. If I’m the head coach I’m out on the field

1:26 PM: Ugh. Tennessee turns the interception into points. Corey Davis scores over C.J. Henderson. This is gonna be a long day, huh?

1:23 PM: INTERCEPTION! Collin Johnson tips it, but it looks like the ball was going to the tight end behind him.
Here’s #Jaguars QB Gardner Minshew’s first interception of the 2020 NFL season.

12:57 PM: James Lofton just referred to Jadeveon Clowney as “the ultimate Allen wrench” because he’s a huge tool, amirite?
12:53 PM: This got me hyped and depressed all at the same time. Go Jaguars.
If the Jaguars beat the Titans today they'll be alone in first place in the division after two weeks for just the fourth time in franchise history. Also did it in 2018, 2004 and 1997. Would also be the eighth time they started 2-0. Finished with winning records four times.

11:35 AM: Titans inactives include: WR A.J. Brown, DE Vic Beasley, RB Darrynton Evans, LB Derrick Roberson, OL Jamil Douglas, TE Geoff Swaim, and DT Isaiah Mack.
Brown being out is huge. Forces the Titans to rely on lesser receivers in the passing game.
11:32 AM: Jaguars inactives include: QB Jake Luton, WR Dede Westbrook, CB Josiah Scott, CB Luq Barcoo, DT Doug Costin, and TE Tyler Davis.
Westbrook out again, huh? Hmmmm.
9:35 AM: Always been a big Kyle Long fan, why do you ask?
.@Ky1eLong is the lone analyst to pick the #Jaguars to win today.

6:04 AM: As a reminder, the Titans leading receiver from last season is out today. He led the Titans in receptions (52), yards (1,051), and touchdowns (8) last season by a wide margin, so his absence will be noticeable.
