Jaguars, Packers players join first responders for national anthem, 9/11 tribute at EverBank Field

With chants of "USA, USA, USA" ringing from a sold-out crowd, a flag that was about the size of the entire field was displayed during the national anthem Sunday prior to the Jaguars' Week 1 game against the Green Bay Packers at EverBank Field.

Each player from both teams appeared to be standing during the pre-game ceremony, which included a flyover on the 15th anniversary of the terrorist attacks that rocked the country on Sept. 11, 2001.

The Jaguars plan to honor local military members and first responders during halftime with a video presentation on the scoreboards at EverBank Field.
