Franchise history
In 1995, along with the Carolina Panthers, the Jacksonville Jaguars entered the NFL as the first expansion teams in almost 20 years.
In January 1997, the young Jacksonville Jaguars stunned the sports world by, not only making the playoffs, but also reaching the AFC Championship game before losing 20-6 to the New England Patriots.
In December 1998, the Jaguars won the AFC Central Division and became the first NFL expansion team to make the playoffs three times in its first four seasons of play.
The 1999 season was quite a success for the Jacksonville Jaguars as they compiled a record of 14-2, which was the best regular season record in the NFL for that year. In the January 2000 AFC Divisional playoffs, the Jaguars flattened the Miami Dolphins 62-7 in what turned out to be Dan Marino and Jimmy Johnson's last NFL game. Jacksonville's 62 points and 55-point margin are the second most ever in NFL playoff history, and Fred Taylor's 90-yard run is the longest ever in an NFL playoff game. The Jaguars ultimately lost to the Tennessee Titans in the AFC Championship game.
In January of 2003, the Jaguars fired head coach Tom Coughlin and replaced him with Jack Del Rio.
