The Jaguars need only a victory or tie against the lowly Raiders to guarantee themselves an invitation to the conference's postseason fray for the second time in three seasons. Jacksonville will also clinch a playoff position if division-rival Tennessee loses or ties its |

ALAMEDA, Calif. (AP) -Whether Oakland rookie quarterback JaMarcus Russell makes his first NFL start Sunday or not, he isn't too concerned about his role against the Jacksonville Jaguars. ``Not at all because I continue to prepare as if I'm going to play, no matter if I start or not,'' Russell said Thursday. ``Whatever (Lane Kiffin's) decision is, he's the coach, he's the boss. I'll roll with that.'' Earlier this week Kiffin said that Russell, the No. 1 overall pick in this year's draft, would definitely play |

Fowler started the first 14 games of the season for the Titans and had 73 tackles. Stephen Tulloch is expected to start the rest of the season in Fowler's absence. To replace Fowler on the roster, the Titans signed linebacker Jorge Cordova, a former third-round draft pick by the Jacksonville Jaguars. Tennessee also signed linebacker Kurt Campbell to its practice squad. |

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) -If the Jacksonville Jaguars advance to the postseason, they could carry a grudge with them. The Jaguars (10-4), one win shy of clinching a playoff spot for the second time in three seasons, were shut out of the Pro Bowl when rosters were announced Tuesday. No Fred Taylor - again. No David Garrard. Not even Rashean Mathis or John Henderson, both of whom made the Pro Bowl last season. It marked the first time since the franchise's inaugural season in 1995 that Jacksonville didn't hav |

If they pull off three straight wins to close out the regular season, the Titans need the Browns to lose against Cincinnati or the Jacksonville Jaguars to lose out versus Oakland and Houston. The Titans could also reach the playoffs for the first time since 2003 if they win out, coupled with a Pittsburgh Steelers' setback to the Baltimore Ravens in the season finale.

| (Best E Casino) - Fred Taylor and David Garrard are fine football players, but they're not doing it alone for the rugged Jacksonville Jaguars. Taylor and Garrard certainly deserve their share of credit, but so does the team's beefy offensive line. How else would Taylor be able to rip off four straight 100-yard rushing performances? Why do you think Garrard is the most efficient quarterback in the NFL right now? In Sunday's 29-22 victory at Pittsburgh, the Jaguars took advantage of a Steelers defensive line that w |
