What Are The Jacksonville Jaguars Super Bowl 58 Odds?

Jacksonville Jaguars Playoff History

With eight playoff appearances under four different head coaches, the Jacksonville Jaguars are still searching for their first championship in the history of the Super Bowl. Founded in 1993, Jacksonville has been relatively inconsistent, having not made the playoffs in back-to-back seasons since the Coughlin-era Jags teams did so from 1996 to 1999. With Trevor Lawrence under center and Doug Pederson calling the plays, there is optimism that the Jacksonville Jaguars can improve their playoff history as they search for long-term success.

Jaguars Playoff Appearances

The Jacksonville Jaguars have been to the playoffs eight times since their inception back in 1995. Their most recent playoff appearance was in 2022, which saw them pull off their largest comeback in franchise history in the Wild Card Round over the Los Angeles Chargers. Doug Pederson (2022) is the most recent coach to lead the Jaguars to the playoffs, joining the likes of Doug Marrone (2017), Jack Del Rio (2005 and 2007), and Tom Coughlin (1996-1999) as the only coaches to reach the postseason in franchise history.

Jaguars Division Championships

The Jags have not been that consistent when making the playoffs. Of their 8 playoff appearances, just three of them have come as division champions. Their first two came in back to back years in 1998 and 1999 under Tom Coughlin with Mark Brunell under center. Fast track to 2017, Doug Marrone added another with Black Bortles at QB. Most recently in 2022, Doug Pederson won it in his first year as Jags coach with Trevor Lawrence and company.

Jaguars Conference Championships

Unfortunately, for the Jaguars, they have not won any conference championships. They have, however, managed to make it to the AFC Championship game three times. With two of them coming under Tom Coughlin in 1996 and 1999 and again in 2017 under Doug Marrone.

Their first appearances in 1996, they faced off with the New England Patriots and were defeated 20-6. They were seen as 7.5-point underdogs heading into the game and clearly were unable to cover the spread. Their QB at the time, Mark Brunell went for just 190 scoreless yards.

In 1999 they faced off and lost to the Tennessee Titans with a final score of 33-14. The Jags were actually seen as the favorites heading into the game by 7-points. Their quarterback was still Mark Brunell who put up 226 yards and a touchdown but threw two interceptions and was sacked three times.

Their most recent AFC Championship appearance came against the New England Patriots in 2017 as they lost 24-20. The Jags were seen as 7.5-point underdogs heading into the game and were able to cover the spread being that they lost by 4-points. They were led by Blake Bortles under center who had a decent game going for 293 yards and a touchdown.

1997 AFC Divisional Round: The Jaguars’ Largest Playoff Comeback

The Jaguars only have one notable large comeback that took place during the playoffs. This happened on January 4th, 1997, in the AFC Divisional Round against the Denver Broncos. The Broncos sprinted out to a 12-0 lead in the first quarter behind a 18 yard touchdown pass from John Elway to Shannon Sharpe; however, a 46 yard field goal by Jaguars’ kicker Mike Hollis began a run that saw the Jaguars outscore the Broncos 30-15. A 16 yard passing touchdown from Jaguars’ quarterback Mark Brunnell to Jimmy Smith put the Jaguars ahead 30-20 late in the fourth. The Broncos would fire back with another John Elway touchdown pass, this time to Ed McCaffrey (father of Christian McCaffrey), but the Jaguars would hold onto the lead to win the game 30-27 and advance to the AFC Championship Game.

2022 AFC Wild Card Round: Largest Comeback In Jags Playoff History

In an epic win that popularized the phrase "It was always the Jags", Trevor Lawrence, Doug Pederson, and company came back from a 27-point deficit in 2022 to defeat the Los Angeles Chargers 31-30. Lawrence started off the game nearly as cold as the Jacksonville temperature (37 degrees), throwing four first-quarter interceptions. Lawrence eventually settled in and threw a touchdown to Evan Ingram with 24 seconds left in the second quarter, with that touchdown the start of a 31 to 3 run for the Jags. After the break, Lawrence would throw three second-half touchdowns, with one touchdown reception a piece by Zay Jones, Marvin Jones Jr., and Christian Kirk. The last drive of the game saw the Jaguars start on their own 21-yard line with 3:09 remaining before a series of runs and passes led to a 36-yard walk-off game-winning field goal by Riley Patterson.
