If someone had said the Jacksonville Jaguars would be 4-4 at the midway point of the NFL season and in contention to make the playoffs after the first game of the season, I might have had to spit my drink out. This has been a season of grit and perseverance for this football team, one that has been as memorable as any in the team’s 25 years of existence.
In the first eight weeks, this team has…
- Lost it’s starting quarterback after only 10 plays in the first game of the season.
- Dealt with a diva who wanted out of Jacksonville
- Saw the birth of a phenomenon called Minshew Mania
- Watched Leonard Fournette become a more complete football player
- Witnessed the development of DJ Chark and Josh Allen
- Saw the defense play its best football in the past two weeks, sans the diva
- Dealt with plenty of controversy about how the front office handles this organization.
