A big reason as to why Jacksonville has enjoyed a late-season surge is the play of safety Andrew Wingard. The Former University of Wyoming student-athlete is a consistent force in the back half of the Jaguars' defense.

On Sunday, Wingard boasted five tackles and a tackle for loss in Jacksonville's 23-17 win at Indianapolis. For the season, Wingard owns 84 tackles, three tackles for loss, one interception, eight passes defended and one quarterback hit for the 12-4 Jaguars.

Jacksonville closes out the regular season against Tennessee.
