JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- The Jacksonville Jaguars had another disappointing loss on Sunday, falling to Atlanta 23-17 after spotting the Falcons a 17-3 first-half lead.

After back-to-back touchdowns in the third quarter, the Jaguars managed just 31 yards and one first down on three possessions and fumbled three times in the fourth quarter. And yet they were still able to move up in this week's ESPN NFL Power Rankings.

Jaguars (5-9) are now No. 20, one week after being No. 21 -- which was their highest ranking since they were No. 15 after beating Tennessee to open the 2011 season.

The Jaguars are still alive in the AFC South race. They have games remaining at New Orleans (5-9) and Houston (7-7) and could possibly face backup quarterbacks in each game. Drew Brees was scheduled to have an MRI on his foot Tuesday after playing through the injury in a Monday night loss to Detroit. The Texans, meanwhile, will be on their fourth quarterback of the season. Brian Hoyer (concussion), Ryan Mallett (waived) and T.J. Yates (ACL) have all started games this season and now the Texans will turn to Brandon Weeden.
