Remember when the Jacksonville Jaguars came into the league in 1995 and did something NO expansion team had ever done before - actually finished .500 or better in their division in their very first season? Those of us who lived through decades of watching expansion teams get absolutely demolished in their debut years couldn’t believe what we were seeing. Brand new franchise, brand new everything, and they were actually… competitive? Meanwhile we’d watched countless expansion teams before them get fed to the wolves, going 2-14 or 3-13 in their first seasons like it was some kind of NFL hazing ritual. But Jacksonville came in swinging with Tom Coughlin and that teal and gold, making the rest of us wonder if maybe the league had gotten soft or if the Jaguars were just built different. Anyone else remember being genuinely shocked that an expansion team could actually compete right out of the gate? #Jaguars #NFL
