I don’t usually rejoice in a victory like this, but when the Jacksonville Jaguars systematically defeated the New England Patriots, I felt a sense of euphoria that can only be felt by a fan base that has wanted this victory for the past eight months.
If there was no other win on the Jacksonville Jaguars schedule, beating the Patriots after their 24-20 loss in the AFC Title game would be enough to make the city of Jacksonville happy. Winning the team’s first home game of the season and walking back into TIAA Bank Field next week for a tilt with the Tennessee Titans gives the Jacksonville momentum and a chance to exhale a bit.
