2023 Jacksonville Jaguars season

The 2023 season was the Jacksonville Jaguars' 29th season in the National Football League (NFL), their third full season under the leadership of general manager Trent Baalke and their second under head coach Doug Pederson. With a Week 17 win over the Carolina Panthers, they matched their nine-win record from 2022.

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 quarterback Trevor Lawrence playing through an injury sustained in the week 13 loss against the Bengals. The offense also took a hit down the stretch when wide receiver Christian 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 rival Titans, leaving their overperforming rivals, the Indianapolis Colts and Houston 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 the Baltimore Ravens at home on Sunday Night Football, this was the Jaguars' first appearance on Sunday Night Football since 2008.[2]
