LARAMIE — It might be premature to call it a changing of the guard in the AFC, but Andrew Wingard and the Jacksonville Jaguars made a convincing case on Monday night.
The Jaguars rallied twice — including a final comeback with under two minutes left — to stun three-time defending AFC champion Kansas City, 31-28. The win pushed Jacksonville to 4-1, tying them atop the AFC with Buffalo and Indianapolis, both of which also feature former Wyoming Cowboys on their rosters.
Wingard delivered another impressive performance in the primetime spotlight, tallying seven tackles and one quarterback hit. His season totals now stand at 29 tackles, one interception, two passes defended, one fumble recovery and one quarterback hit.
Here’s how the rest of the Wyoming alumni fared in Week 5:
