The 2013 season was the Jacksonville Jaguars' 19th in the National Football League (NFL), their first under general manager David Caldwell and their first under head coach Gus Bradley. Although they started 0–8 and missed the playoffs, the Jaguars improved upon their then-franchise-worst 2–14 record from 2012. Much like 2012, the root of their victories were intra-division. The Jaguars also gained a close non-divisional victory over the Browns to finish the year at 4–12. The Jaguars had the 32nd ranked offense by points scored.
