Jacksonville, Fl — Jacksonville, you’ve witnessed an incredible turnaround. And the way many observers see it, the Jacksonville Jaguars have built a foundation that will bring sustainable winning.
“Finally” is what I heard many fans say as they were leaving EverBank Stadium on Sunday amid disappointment at the 27-24 loss to the Buffalo Bills.
“Josh &**$ing Allen” is the other thing I heard from several people who just witnessed Buffalo’s QB carry his team to his first-ever road playoff win.
The Jaguars appeared to follow their gameplan throughout. And the fourth quarter was a drama-filled with multiple lead changes.
The atmosphere was electric and anxious. Every time the Jaguars took the lead, fans erupted in relief-filled exuberance.
When Trevor Lawrence’s last minute pass ended in the arms of a defender, Bills fans roared louder than they had all game.
As time passes we will likely revisit all of the high moments of the season, including the eight-game winning streak that preceded the playoffs.
And the team will be making several consequential decisions in the off-season, including RB Travis Etienne’s future.
But all of Jags Nation can be proud of the development of this team and that next season will be full of optimism.
