21. Jacksonville Jaguars (30)

In what may go down as the most unexpected win from opening weekend, the Jacksonville Jaguars pulled off a shocker by defeating the Houston Texans on the road to find themselves all alone in first place at the moment in the AFC South. Sure, that will likely change in the next week or two when seeing how competitive the division is expected to be, but give the Jaguars credit for making a huge statement early on to make a case for being part of the conversation.

Believe it or not, Jacksonville was one of the big winners from the offseason thanks to a successful free agency period along with the NFL Draft, but the offense suffered a major blow on Sunday with the news of Allen Robinson being out for the year with a torn ACL. Having a receiver like Robinson playing alongside Allen Hurns was supposed to give the Jaguars a major advantage in the passing game, and it will be interesting to see how they make the adjustment.

On a positive note, at least Leonard Fournette was able to make history after becoming the first player to break the 100-yard rushing mark for Jacksonville in his NFL debut. Because after the news surrounding Robinson, the Jaguars are going to need all of the extra help on offense they can get.
