What happened: Jacksonville made three trades in one day, including a 2027 first-round pick and a 2029 second-round pick to the Eagles for a defensive tackle. The Jaguars are 6-2 and hold the AFC 3 seed after a 33-10 win at Baltimore.

Why it matters: Teams with a real playoff position rarely get a cleaner moment to push chips in than a two-game winning streak into the deadline. The cost is future draft capital, which is the debate: whether a 3 seed justifies a first and a second for one position.
