Jaguars fans — happy holidays!
Are you confident the team is headed in the right direction?
Please take our surveyNot a very tough question, I know. The Jaguars have won six straight games after knocking off the Broncos at Mile High to pass their biggest test of the season.
Now that the Colts lost to the Niners on Monday Night Football, the Jags have clinched their first playoff berth since 2022 (and just third since 2007).
According to The Athletic, Jacksonville has an 80% chance to capture the division, an 11% chance to earn the AFC’s No. 1 seed… and a 7% chance to win the Super Bowl.
“Honestly, you really look at, I’ll keep going back to Houston,” head coach Liam Coen said Monday. “Post Houston, that was a tough locker room. That was a tough feeling and that was gut-wrenching at the time. But I do recall Josh Hines-Allen speaking very briefly. I think Arik Armstead said a few things and then we ended it.
“I didn’t go on and on, and we didn’t have a lengthy post-game. We said a few things. It was from the heart, it was real. But also, I think the guys knew in that moment some things needed to change and we had to operate differently in terms of a 60-minutes mindset football game. And so, I’ll continue to look back to that game as something that has helped us and fueled us moving forward.”
Fan faithfulness has fluctuated throughout the season’s ebbs and flows — understandably so — but as of last week, 97% of Jaguars fans were confident in the direction of the team. Vibes are Mile High in Duval County.
