Jacksonville Jaguars’ 31-20 win over the New England Patriots last Sunday, meant that they got their revenge for a narrow loss in the last season’s AFC Championship Game. This doesn’t mean, however, that the Jaguars are done since the team is already preparing to continue their revenge streak this Sunday against the Tennessee Titans.
Titans established themselves as a proper anti-Jags team, and Jacksonville managed to get only one win over them in the last six seasons while losing both of the match-ups in 2017. Now the Jaguars players feel it is time for payback.
“Losing to a team twice, at their house and here, that wasn’t cool,” –linebacker Myles Jack told reporters. “We’re not too happy about that. That’s obviously being talked about this week. The New England game was one thing, but this is a team that literally beat us twice in one year.“
“The Titans were the one team we really didn’t have an answer for,” – added safety Tashaun Gipson. “They outplayed us in every facet of the game. We were truly outmatched, from the home opener last year to the game before the playoffs. Obviously, we want to get our lick back in a sense.”
Tennessee Titans are a historically unpleasant team for Jacksonville Jaguars. Titans handed Jaguars more defeats than any other NFL team and were the ones to stop 14-2 Jags team from 1999 to reach the Super Bowl in franchise’s history. The two teams faced in the 1999 AFC Championship Game at Jacksonville and things started great for the Jaguars who had 14-10 lead at the half. Titans fired back with 23-0 run in the second half and went on to win the game.
Jacksonville Jaguars are off to a great start of the season and currently look like one of the best teams in the league. But, the match against the Titans will probably show what they are made off and whether this team is finally ready for big things.
