history of the jacksonville jaguars
the jaguars visited the buffalo bills in their first playoff game in franchise history. despite being a heavy underdog, the jaguars won 30–27, and knocked buffalo quarterback jim kelly out of what would turn out to be the last game of his career. their next game was on the road against the denver broncos, who had earned the afc's top seed with a 13–3 record and were widely regarded as the best team in the afc, if not the nfl. while the broncos scored two touchdowns early in the game, after the first quarter, the jaguars largely dominated. in what is often regarded as one of the three biggest upsets in nfl playoff history, the jaguars defeated the broncos by the same score as the previous week against the bills, 30–27. upon their return home, the jags were greeted by an estimated 40,000 fans at the stadium. many of these fans had watched the game on the stadium jumbotron displays and had stayed into the early hours of the morning when the team arrived. in the afc championship game, the jaguars miracle season came to an end, as they lost 20–6 to the new england patriots, in foxboro. their fellow second-year nfc expansion team, the carolina panthers, also got to their conference championship game, where they lost 30–13 to the eventual super bowl champion green bay packers.
