The2023 season was theJacksonville Jaguars' 29th season in theNational Football League (NFL), their third full season under the leadership ofgeneral managerTrent Baalke and their second underhead coachDoug Pederson. With a Week 17 win over theCarolina Panthers, they matched their nine-win record from2022.
Despite being favorites to win what was perceived as a historically weak division and starting the season with an 8–3 record, Jacksonville suffered a late-season collapse, in part due to starting quarterbackTrevor Lawrence playing through an injury sustained in the week 13 loss against theBengals. The offense also took a hit down the stretch when wide receiverChristian Kirk suffered a season-ending injury early in the game against the Bengals. Jacksonville would go on to lose five of their final six games, losing out on the AFC South division title and playoffs after a loss to the division rivalTitans, leaving their overperforming rivals, theIndianapolis Colts andHouston Texans, in control of each other's destiny. With the Texans winning their final game against the Colts, Jacksonville ended the season in disappointment.
On June 23, the Jaguars announced the team's home stadium would be renamed EverBank Stadium prior to the start of the season.[1]
In Week 15, the Jaguars faced theBaltimore Ravens at home onSunday Night Football, this was the Jaguars' first appearance on Sunday Night Football since2008.[2]
