The Jacksonville Jaguars are a professional American football team based in Jacksonville, Florida. They are a member of the South Division of the American Football Conference (AFC) in the National Football League (NFL). Established in 1993, the Jaguars are one of the league’s newer franchises and have developed a dedicated fan base over the years.
The Jaguars were awarded an NFL franchise on November 30, 1993, as part of the league’s expansion into new markets. Alongside the Carolina Panthers, the Jaguars were introduced to broaden the league’s reach and grow its popularity in the southern United States. The team began play in the 1995 NFL season, with Tom Coughlin serving as their first head coach. The Jaguars played their inaugural game on September 3, 1995, against the Houston Oilers, marking the beginning of their journey in professional football.
In their early years, the Jaguars experienced surprising success for an expansion team. They quickly built a competitive roster, highlighted by key players like quarterback Mark Brunell, running back Fred Taylor, and wide receiver Jimmy Smith. The team’s early success culminated in a playoff appearance in just their second season, 1996, when they reached the AFC Championship Game but fell to the New England Patriots.
