With the division, and their season, likely on the line this Sunday, the Jacksonville Jaguars need all the help they can get in order to take care of business against the Tennessee Titans to clinch the AFC South. 

Quarterback Trevor Lawrence missed last week with a shoulder injury, and his status for the season finale remains up in the air. Head coach Doug Pederson said that Lawrence is going to be questionable, and that the decision could come down to right before game-time. However, Pederson added that if Lawrence is medically cleared, he's playing. 

"If he's good to go, he's good to go," Pederson said. "If he's out there, he's rolling."

The Jaguars defeated the Panthers 26-0 in Week 17 with backup quarterback C.J. Beathard under center, who threw for 178 yards. 

If the Jaguars win, they are in the playoffs. A loss makes things more complicated. They would need losses from the Pittsburgh Steelers and Denver Broncos, and the matchup between the Houston Texans and Indianapolis Colts would need to not end in a tie.
