Jacksonville Jaguars: I swear this isn't a potshot at the Jaguars, who won 13-6 at Houston on Sunday. It was an impressive win. And one that might cost Jacksonville in May.

Jacksonville, which is now 2-9, needs a franchise quarterback. And when the Jaguars were 0-8, it looked like they would get the best one of the 2014 draft class, presumably Teddy Bridgewater. Now they're in danger of falling a few spots. The Falcons and Vikings each have two wins (the Vikings have a tie, too). The Texans have two wins and would pick ahead of Jacksonville if the two teams finish with the same record.

Minnesota and probably Houston (the Case Keenum bandwagon is falling apart fast) would take a quarterback. Atlanta wouldn't, but could pull off a trade like St. Louis did when the Redskins moved up to take Robert Griffin III. It's conceivable Jacksonville's win on Sunday might end up costing them not only their first choice of quarterbacks, but their first two or three choices.

Nobody's condoning tanking, but ... no, wait. That's exactly what I'm condoning. It's the smart move sometimes. Tanking for a franchise quarterback would ultimately benefit a franchise. The Jaguars might end up regretting Sunday's win for a long time
