Lawrence said, "We know at this point in the season that's what we expected," during a press conference on Wednesday.

The key message is that you must finish strong, and we still have two division games left. You don't always get to end with two-division games when things go that way. We have a fantastic opportunity here.

We lost to this squad, he mentioned, a month or two ago, whichever was earlier. Having the opportunity to play them again in their stadium is exciting because they haven't defeated this team in a while.

In three games over the past two years, he has yet to defeat the Texans. He really wants to win this game.

Lawrence said that is how the entire team feels. The Jaguars also seem like a much better club than the one that fell to the Texans 13-6 back in Week Five since they have won four of their previous five games.

Lawrence said. “Since it is a division game, we are approaching it as such. For us, this game is as important as any game we have played all season.”

Whatever the outcome of the game on Sunday, the Jaguars will visit the Titans in Week 18 to determine the AFC South champion.
