Gators in the NFL: Fowler Jr. fired up as Jags advance to AFC Championship

When it came to addressing the NFL community that had overlooked his team all season, former Florida and current Jacksonville Jaguars defensive end Dante Fowler Jr. did not mince words.

“We’re a Super Bowl-contending team,” Fowler Jr. said after the game, according to the Florida Times-Union’s Phillip Heilman. “For everybody that was down on us, they can eat that. They can take all that s--- and shove it up their a--.”

In addition to his fiery rhetoric, Fowler Jr. also recorded one tackle in the Jaguars’ thrilling 45-42 upset win on the road over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday in the divisional round of the playoffs.
