Jaguars will play defending Super Bowl champion second year in a row

Denver’s Super Bowl victory over Carolina means the Jaguars will play the defending Super Bowl champion for the second year in a row in 2016.

The difference is that the Jaguars will play Denver at home while they played at New England last year and lost, 51-17.

The Denver game is part of what appears to be an attractive home schedule for the Jaguars. Four of the seven teams – Denver, Green Bay, Minnesota and Houston – made the playoffs last year. The other home games are against Oakland, featuring Jack Del Rio’s return to Jacksonville, Baltimore and Tennessee.
