So record amount of people watched us lose 😭😭
Oh good. Now even more brain dead TikTok dependent mouth breathers will call us frauds all offseason.
Pretty good for just a small market team
This is rubbing salt in the wound.
If it means more primetime games then I’ll take it. This year’s MNF game against the Chiefs and the WC game against the Bills showed us in a favorable light to the country. Unlike our primetime game last season.
We play away at Cowboys next year, maybe we’ll get the Thanksgiving game.
The Monday night game was a top viewed game too. Nothing small market about us in the spotlight.
I could be wrong, but i feel like our playoff games in 2017 were above average too for viewership. I think for alot pf people on the fence, fresh blood draws excitement and interest.
It was undeniably a good game, maybe even great. I can’t believe anyone watching Lawrence would think he was worse than anyone else in the playoffs other than Allen. I think people will remember this when they tune it to watch Hunter next season. There will be highlights whether we win or not, but I think we’ll fare well against the teams I’m looking at in ‘26. I think we’ll get the Thanksgiving game next year in Dallas because of this viewership, I really do.
I hate that it was the 1 PM. Clearly the best AFC matchup and they threw it on at lunch.
Silver lining?
Americas Team!
Maybe I’m delusional but I believe if the Jaguars went on a consistent run of success and playoff appearances we would be one of the most liked teams and have a much bigger fanbase nationwide like the other smaller market teams like buffalo and green bay . 🤷♂️
That’s pretty good for a couple of “small market teams.”
