Jaguars coach Doug Pederson doesn't want to hear anything about playoff scenarios.
"I'm not thinking past Thursday, quite honestly," Pederson told reporters. "We've got a good football team that we're going up against Thursday night. Anything's possible. I understand that. We've still got a big road ahead. But if we continue to improve on what we've done here in the last month of the season, then I think it's possible."
