It’s not like the Jaguars haven’t been here before. A 4-7 team on the bring of falling to lower into the depths of the NFL’s abyss. It was the same kind of situation as in 1996, the year that Jacksonville went on a magical run of five straight wins and clinched an AFC playoff berth in the franchise’s second season of existence.
Could this happen again? Yes, in reality. Will it happen again? No, in reality. There are too many hurdles to overcome as these Jaguars make their way to TIAA Bank Field this week, which includes their own issues with a lack of run defense, injuries, and a stagnant passing game.
