"Now, after beating the AFC top seed Denver Broncos 34-20 at Empower Field at Mile High, they don't want any of it. And don't even think about jumping on the bandwagon now, either. "Everybody in this locker room on the Jaguars team, even upstairs, we know everybody's probably going to try to hop on this bandwagon now, but we don't want anybody," defensive end Travon Walker said on the Jaguars' postgame show. "They can stay where they're at. It's us. It's all about the Jags."
"The Jaguars (11-4), who can clinch a playoff spot if San Francisco beats Indianapolis on Monday night, are feasting on the perceived lack of respect. Not getting talked about enough -- or being dismissed -- as one of the AFC's better teams, comments from analysts clipped and posted throughout the facility, social media clips shared among players ... the Jaguars are using all of that as fuel."
The Jacksonville Jaguars delivered a 34-20 victory over the AFC top-seeded Denver Broncos at Empower Field at Mile High. The team stands at 11-4 and can clinch a playoff spot if San Francisco beats Indianapolis on Monday night. Players and staff are embracing perceived slights and clipped analyst comments as motivation, sharing social media and commentary throughout the facility to fuel the roster. Defensive end Travon Walker explicitly rejected bandwagon supporters, insisting the team wants no outsiders joining now. Broncos coach Sean Payton described the Jaguars as a "smaller market" but "a real good team."
