Another big reason to question the 2005 team's chances for another season with 10 or more wins was the decision by former defensive coordinator Brian VanGorder to become an NFL assistant with the Jacksonville Jaguars. VanGorder, who recently accepted the position of Georgia Southern's head coach, was seen by many as the major reason for Richt's success. Richt quickly promoted Willie Martinez to the coordinator spot. The Bulldogs have continued another tradit |

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) - The Jacksonville Jaguars will wait until gametime Sunday before deciding whether quarterback Byron Leftwich will return to the lineup against the Tennessee Titans. Leftwich, out since breaking his left ankle Nov. 27, returned to practice this week. ``Byron has progressed well during the week and was a little better each day,'' coach Jack Del Rio said Friday. ``But I'm not going to declare whether he'll play until I have to.'' During Leftwich's absence, backup David Garrard guided |

| Nashville, TN (Best E Casino) - Tennessee Titans quarterback Steve McNair is questionable for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Jacksonville Jaguars with a pectoral injury. If the 11-year veteran plays Sunday it could be his last game in a Tennessee uniform. The signal-caller has not played a full season since 2002, battling various injuries and undergoing surgery on his chest last season that forced him to consider retirement. The Titans quarterback is due a substantial bonus this offseason and has open |

| === Jaguars are playoff-bound === By Jim Gillis, NFL Analyst (Best E Casino) - This time, the Jacksonville Jaguars were not going to let the Houston Texans ruin their playoff plans. On the day after Christmas last year, the Texans posted a 21-0 shutout to kill Jacksonville's playoff chances. On the day before Christmas this year, Houston was in position to do it again. The Jaguars, though, scored three fourth- quarter touchdowns on the way to a 38-20 victory that sealed Jacksonville's first playoff berth since 19 |

On Saturday, the Texans' miserable season continued, as they blew a three- point halftime lead and allowed the Jacksonville Jaguars to score 28 of the game's final 35 points in a 38-20 loss at Reliant Stadium. David Carr went 19-of-29 for 295 yards with two touchdowns and one pick for the Texans (2-13), who have lost seven of their last eight games and are currently first in lin |

After the 24-10 loss at Miami on Christmas Eve, the Titans can only match their 5-11 record from 2004 with a victory against the playoff-bound Jacksonville Jaguars. "There were some good things in [Sunday's] ballgame, but certainly I'm disappointed in the outcome," Titans head coach Jeff Fisher said Monday. "So where does that leave us?
