In my former life, when I covered the Jaguars, I saw a fan base devastated by three losses in one season to the same division opponent. It was the only team to whom the Jaguars lost that season, but they did it three times. Talk about the sting of defeat!
The year was 1999 and the Jaguars finished the regular season 14-2. They held homefield advantage for the playoffs and quickly dismissed Dan Marino, Jimmy Johnson and the Dolphins, 62-7. Next up, the Tennessee Titans in the AFC title game. Surely, the Jaguars wouldn’t lose to the Titans, again.
