Jaguars play tomorrow: Everything you need to know about Sunday’s game

ERVIN SHKULAKU–JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (DUANEWS) — Football returns to Jacksonville on Sunday, November 1, as the Jacksonville Jaguars host the Indianapolis Colts in an important AFC South showdown at EverBank Stadium.

After a week off, the Jaguars are ready to return to action in front of their home crowd, looking to strengthen their position at the top of the division and continue their impressive home winning streak against Indianapolis.

Kickoff is scheduled for 1:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, with the game broadcast locally on CBS47 and available to stream through Paramount+.

For Jacksonville fans, Sunday’s matchup offers more than another regular-season game. It is an opportunity to protect the team’s division lead and build momentum heading into a demanding November schedule.

Jaguars Return Home as AFC South Leaders

Jacksonville enters the game with a 4-2 record, while Indianapolis arrives at 2-5.

The Jaguars currently lead the AFC South and hold a 2.5-game advantage over the rest of the division.

Head coach Liam Coen’s team is returning from its bye week after a 34-31 loss to the Houston Texans in London on October 18.

Before that defeat, Jacksonville had won four of its first five games, including victories over the Cleveland Browns, New England Patriots, Cincinnati Bengals and Philadelphia Eagles.

Sunday will also mark the Jaguars’ first game at EverBank Stadium since their September 27 victory over New England.

A Remarkable Winning Streak Against Indianapolis

One of the most interesting storylines heading into Sunday’s game is Jacksonville’s long-running home dominance over the Colts.

The Jaguars have won 11 consecutive home meetings against Indianapolis, a streak dating back to 2015.

Jacksonville also swept last season’s series, defeating the Colts 36-19 in Week 14 and 23-17 in Week 17.

The Jaguars will attempt to extend that streak to 12 games on Sunday.

Injuries Could Influence the Matchup

Jacksonville will be without safety Antonio Johnson, who has been ruled out with an ankle injury.

Wide receiver Jakobi Meyers is listed as questionable because of hamstring and ankle issues.

For Indianapolis, wide receiver Anthony Gould and cornerback Justin Walley have been ruled out.

Linebacker Bryce Boettcher and tight end Andrew Ogletree are listed as questionable.

The availability of questionable players will become clearer when the teams release their inactive lists before kickoff.

Where to Watch and Listen

Fans in the Jacksonville area can watch Sunday’s game on CBS47, while Paramount+ will offer streaming access.

The television broadcast will feature Spero Dedes on play-by-play, Adam Archuleta as analyst and Aditi Kinkhabwala reporting from the sidelines.

Fans can also follow the action on local radio through 1010XL, 92.5 FM and 99.9 FM Gator Country.

NFL+ will provide another viewing option on supported mobile devices.

The Jaguars’ pregame tailgate coverage begins at 10:00 a.m., followed by the Countdown to Kickoff radio show at noon.

Going to the Stadium? Expect Traffic and Parking Changes

Fans attending the game should prepare for possible traffic delays around EverBank Stadium.

Ongoing stadium renovations and bridge construction are affecting access and parking arrangements.

EverBank Stadium is operating with approximately 27,000 fewer seats this season because of the Stadium of the Future construction project.

Traffic restrictions will also affect the Main Street Bridge after the game. Southbound exiting traffic will be limited to one lane, while some westbound drivers will be redirected toward the Acosta Bridge.

Fans are encouraged to leave early, confirm their parking arrangements and follow official traffic instructions.

Don’t Forget: Clocks Change Overnight

There is another important detail for fans preparing for Sunday’s game.

Daylight Saving Time ends early Sunday morning, November 1, at 2:00 a.m., when clocks move back one hour.

The Jaguars-Colts game begins at 1:00 p.m. under Eastern Standard Time.

Most smartphones will adjust automatically, but fans using traditional clocks should remember to make the change.

What Happens After Sunday?

Jacksonville will have little time to rest after facing Indianapolis.

The Jaguars are scheduled to travel to Baltimore for a Thursday Night Football matchup against the Ravens on November 5, with kickoff set for 8:15 p.m.

That means Sunday’s contest begins a short but potentially important stretch of the season.

For Jacksonville, a victory against a division rival would provide a valuable boost before the quick turnaround.

Can Jacksonville Keep Its Winning Streak Alive?

The Jaguars enter Sunday’s matchup with the better record, home-field advantage and a remarkable history of success against Indianapolis in Jacksonville.

However, division games can be unpredictable, and the Colts will be looking to end a decade-long losing streak on the Jaguars’ home field.

The question now is whether Jacksonville can turn its strong start into another important AFC South victory.
