How Jaguars' 'Duuuval' rally chant captured Jacksonville

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- D'Ernest Johnson was pretty sure the Jacksonville Jaguars fans were booing.

The running back didn't understand why because the game between his team, the Cleveland Browns, and the Jaguars in 2020 at EverBank Field was tight. Plus, the "booing" was happening during breaks in play, and that didn't make sense, either.

Three years later when he signed with the Jaguars as a free agent, he figured out they weren't booing. They were yelling "Duuuval!" He had no idea what it meant.

"Because of how it sounded -- Duuuval -- I'm like, they must be booing, I don't know," Johnson said.
