The Jacksonville Jaguars ease into the 2011 NFL schedule as they open the season at home against the Tennessee Titans in week one. From there, the difficulty ramps up quickly as the Jags travel to New York to face the Jets in week two. The early season schedule is alternates between easy and difficult as Jacksonville travels to Carolina for a week three date with the Panthers before hitting the meat of its schedule.
Jacksonville Jaguars 2011 Schedule: Tough Early Season Stretch Features Steelers, Ravens
The tough stretch of the Jaguars schedule comes before their week nine bye. On Oct. 2, it begins as the Jags host the New Orleans Saints. The Cincinnati Bengals provide somewhat of a break the next week before a stretch that sees Jacksonville hit the road against the Steelers before hosting the Baltimore Ravens on Oct. 24. Two tough, physical matchups back-to-back will surely leave the Jags battered and bruised with a bye in sight.
