Longtime Jaguars fans remember the moment like it was just the other day. It’s unforgettable. In many ways, it’s timeless and applies to this year’s worst-to-first Jacksonville team.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla.
Widell asked that question well into the early morning hours of Jan. 5, 1997, when a crowd packed then-Jacksonville Municipal Stadium to welcome home its underdog Jaguars. They’d gone on the road and shocked John Elway and the Broncos 30-27 in the AFC divisional round. The Broncos, the No. 1 seed in the AFC, were 12.5-point favorites.
Both teams were sitting at 3-6 and going nowhere in the regular season before notching their fourth win of the year. Guess who that came against? The Ravens both times and in thrillers; 30-27 in 1996 and 28-27 this season.
