Mia O'Brien, Tony Wiggins, and Marcus Ogden break down the Jacksonville Jaguars’ playoff matchup against the Buffalo Bills. The main theme is simple: run the ball and stop the run. The Jaguars have the NFL’s top-ranked run defense, while the Bills have one of the best run offenses. The crew discusses Josh Allen’s injury situation (Buffalo’s Allen, not Jacksonville’s), the effectiveness of James Cook and the Bills’ offensive line, and how the Jaguars’ defensive front can slow them down.

They also debate the Jags’ own running attack and acknowledge some concerns with Travis Etienne’s power running style, but note this game is a prime opportunity against Buffalo’s shaky run defense. On the other side, the Bills’ secondary is statistically strong, but the hosts argue that’s partly because teams have so much success running on them.

Key points also include how the Jaguars’ offensive line can take advantage of Buffalo’s depleted defensive front, the importance of linebackers keeping clean to attack the run, and the need to avoid missed tackles. Marcus Ogden provides great technical insight on offensive and defensive line play, especially regarding run schemes.

Predictions lean toward a confident Jaguars win, with the group feeling Jacksonville’s balanced team and home-field advantage give them the edge. They wrap with some listener Q&A, praise for players like Parker Washington, Antonio Johnson, and Walker Little, and excitement for Sunday’s playoff showdown.
