Jacksonville Jaguars vs Carolina Panthers.
It’s the kind of matchup that hearkens back to the founding of both teams. Expansion franchises pitted together in a Hall of Fame game that would set the ball rolling.
The Jacksonville Jaguars became an early AFC juggernaut, appearing in the AFC Championship, fighting against greats like John Elway and Eddie George. They never quite made it, but it was clear a foundation of winning was being built. They now focus on rebuilding that foundation.
The Carolina Panthers appeared in the NFC Championship in just their second year, faded into obscurity, then re-emerged in 2003 to lose their only Super Bowl game.
