The Jacksonville Jaguars finally won their first game since September 2020 after they beat the Miami Dolphins by a 23-20 scoreline in London. It was their first regular season win since Week 1 of last season, when they pulled off an upset win against the Indianapolis Colts.

The win brought some calm for the Jacksonville camp, as the distractions caused by Urban Meyer following the Week 4 loss can now be put to bed after the coach won his first-ever NFL game. Rookie quarterback Trevor Lawrence played a good game and also noted his first win in the pros.

Fans went crazy on Twitter after Jacksonville finally ended their 20-game streak:

Can the Jaguars turn around their situation for the 2021 season?

Now that Jacksonville has finally turned a corner and snapped the long losing streak, can they build some momentum for the second half of the season?

It's difficult to see the team fighting for a playoff spot because, well, they just aren't good enough for that. Over the first five weeks, it was clear that this Jacksonville roster, although with some talented pieces, still struggles in most areas. There's not a lot of good pass rushers, the defense altogether isn't good and the offensive line is a major cause for concern regarding Trevor Lawrence's health.

It's great that the Jaguars have snapped their long losing streak, and yes, the mood around Jacksonville will be much happier these days. However, this is still a team in progress and that's far from competing for a ring or even a playoff spot. At least the pressure is off from Urban Meyer and Trevor Lawrence's shoulders.

On the other hand, man, what a disappointing season for the Dolphins. This was a team supposed to fight for a playoff spot after two great years of rebuilding under Brian Flores' leadership, but they are now in a five-game losing streak and it doesn't look like it's going to end anytime soon - if they can't beat Jacksonville, then how would you trust them to beat anybody else?

Something has to change with this Dolphins team. The defense has regressed badly, the offensive line can't block anybody and Tua Tagovailoa's health is once again a problem for the franchise. Miami has to figure out what's wrong because the season is going south quickly.
