Jaguars look to build on decade-long win streak over Colts

The Jacksonville Jaguars are coming off a bye in Week 7, after two back-to-back games in London and a 34-31 loss to the Houston Texans. Their next opponent is the struggling Indianapolis Colts, another division rival with a long losing streak at EverBank Stadium.The Jaguars have won 11 consecutive home games against the Colts entering Sunday's matchup, a streak dating back more than a decade. Ten of those wins came in Jacksonville, and the Jaguars' 30-27 victory over Indianapolis at Wembley Stadium in 2016 counted as a Jacksonville home game. Indianapolis' last victory over the Jaguars on the road came Sept. 21, 2014, when Andrew Luck threw for 370 yards and four touchdowns in a 44-17 Indianapolis win.Jacksonville's win streak began the following season with a 51-16 rout of Indianapolis in December 2015. Since then, the Jaguars have found just about every possible way to beat the Colts at home.There have been blowouts, including a 24-0 shutout in 2022 and a 37-20 win in 2023. There have also been narrow escapes, such as Jacksonville's 37-34 victory in 2024, when Cam Little kicked a 49-yard field goal with 17 seconds remaining.Last season, Jacksonville defeated Indianapolis 36-19 in Week 14 to take sole possession of first place in the AFC South, a lead the Jaguars kept through the rest of the season.While the circumstances are different this season, Sunday's game could again have significant implications for the division race. Jacksonville enters Week 8 at 4-2 and holds a two-and-a-half-game lead over both Indianapolis and Houston. The Colts fell to 2-5 after Sunday's 16-10 loss to Minnesota, their third consecutive defeat.Indianapolis still holds the edge in the all-time series, 28-22. But in Jacksonville, the rivalry has belonged almost entirely to the Jaguars for more than a decade. On Sunday, they'll try to make it 12 straight.This article originally appeared on Jaguars Wire: Jaguars look to build on decade-long win streak over Colts
