JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — New season. New team. New opportunity for the Indianapolis Colts to end their decade-long skid in Jacksonville.

This one comes with new stakes, too.

Indianapolis and Jacksonville, two 8-4 teams seemingly headed in opposite directions, meet Sunday with first place in the AFC South up for grabs. An equally intriguing subplot: The Colts are trying to win at EverBank Stadium for the first time since 2014.

“I think you guys have talked about the streak enough for all of us,” said Colts linebacker Zaire Franklin, who also noted Indy’s new owners. “I don’t really know how relevant it is, to be honest with you. ... It’s a whole lot of new.

“It’s a year of a whole lot of firsts. So that is just an irrelevant thing. But I understand that’s something to speak about."
