Jacksonville Jaguars Week 10 NFL Power Rankings Roundup

Throughout the 2023 NFL season, we will compile a consensus NFL Power Rankings that averages the rankings of all 32 NFL teams.

Below you will find a Week 10 roundup for the Jacksonville Jaguars in our consensus 2023 NFL Power Rankings.

ESPN -- Rank: 6

Non-QB MVP: OLB Josh Allen

Running back Travis Etienne Jr. (583 yards rushing, 8 total TDs) might deserve it, too, but Allen gets the nod because the defense has surprisingly carried an offense that hasn't operated at a consistently high level in the first half. Allen is having the best year of his career (9 sacks) and has pretty much been the Jaguars' entire pass rush. His 48 QB pressures are more than twice the number of the next-closest teammate (Travon Walker with 22), according to NFL Next Gen Stats. He also has helped the run defense rank third in the NFL (79.3 yards per game). -- Michael DiRocco

NFL.com -- Rank: 4

After a 1-2 start, the Jags reeled off five straight wins in five different stadiums, handling extensive travel, injuries and a short week extremely well. Trevor Lawrence and Travis Etienne are having terrific seasons, Doug Pederson is coaching his tail off, and the defense leads the NFL in takeaways per game. That's the good news. But the Jaguars better have rested up during their Week 9 bye, because the schedule down the stretch is a whale. They have games left against the 49ers, Texans, Bengals, Browns and Ravens, plus two vs. the Titans, who always seem to play Jacksonville tough and have been better with Will Levis at QB. The Jags remain major favorites to win the AFC South, but this slate is going to be a heck of a challenge.

CBS Sports -- Rank: 3

They come off their bye with a huge game against the 49ers at home. That is a proving game of sorts in terms of the national stage.

USA Today -- Rank: 5

Coming off their Week 9 bye, October's road warriors will leave Jacksonville just once in the next four weeks. Beating the Niners on Sunday would be quite a statement.

The Athletic -- Rank: 8

Report card: B-plus

Don't look now, but Jacksonville is 12-3 in its last 15 games. The Jaguars aren't dominant in any one area of the game. They are 18th in the league in yards per play allowed (5.2) and 19th in yards per play (5.1). But they have created more turnovers (2.25 per game) than anyone in the league and are ninth in point differential (plus-37). Their matchup this week with the 49ers with both teams coming off a bye is the game of the week.

FOX -- Rank: 4

Take a week off, rise in the power rankings. The vibes are immaculate in Duval County right now, but up next is their first big test in a month — a huge home game against San Francisco.

Yahoo! -- Rank: 6

The Jaguars get the 49ers at home Sunday in a huge game for Jacksonville. Win that and the Jaguars will take their place among the elite teams in the NFL and will have to be taken seriously as Super Bowl contenders. We'll know a lot more about Jacksonville after Sunday.

PFT -- Rank: 3

Beat the 49ers this weekend, and they are the real deal.
