The Jacksonville Jaguars got busy ahead of the NFL's November 10th trade deadline, acquiring three major defensive pieces as they look to make a push for their first Super Bowl in franchise history.

The first of the three deals was for Atlanta Falcons safety Jessie Bates III in exchange for a 2027 second-round pick and a 2028 5th-round pick. Jacksonville already had their bye week, while the Falcons are entering theirs, meaning Bates has the rare opportunity to play 18 games this season. 

He's coming off a season-high 11-tackle game against the Cincinnati Bengals in Madrid, Spain. He has four pass deflections and one interception this season. Now, the three-time All-Pro safety has a chance to help improve Jacksonville's 22nd-ranked pass defense. 

The team's second trade of the day was for New Orleans Saints defensive tackle Davon Godchaux in exchange for a 2028 sixth-round pick. 

Godchaux, 21, one of the most durable defensive tackles in the league, has played every single game for the Saints since joining the team in 2021. The 32-year-old has 15 tackles through eight games this season, and will look to help a Jaguars defensive line that just lost DaVon Hamilton to a torn quad injury. 

Jacksonville's third, and biggest, trade was a deal for Philadelphia Eagles defensive tackle Jordan Davis in exchange for a 2027 first-round pick and a 2029 second-round pick. 

Davis, 26, has played in all nine games for the Eagles this season and every game in each of the past three seasons. Philly originally signed Davis to a three-year, $78 million extension, with $65 million guaranteed back in March. 

The blockbuster move brings in a proven DT who is tied for the league lead in run stops. He has 31 tackles this season with three quarterback hits, two tackles for a loss, 1.5 sacks, and one pass deflection. 

The Jaguars are currently 6-2 after their thrashing of the Baltimore Ravens on Thursday night. They now sit behind the Denver Broncos (7-2) and Buffalo Bills (6-1) for the best record in the AFC, alongside the Pittsburgh Steelers (6-2) and Cincinnati Bengals (6-2). 

Their defense currently ranks second in points per game (15.1), third in forced turnovers (15), first in red zone turnovers (5), and fifth in rushing yards per game (89.3). 

Jacksonville is currently blowing the rest of the league out of the water with a +108 point differential. No other team has better than a +80. San Francisco are second with +79. 

Their next opponent is the 1-7 Tennessee Titans on Sunday, November 15th, as they look to secure a three-game win streak for the second time this season.
