It’s the Seattle Seahawks against the New England Patriots in Super Bowl 60. So who do the experts have winning this game?
From the Jacksonville Jaguars’ perspective, Year 1 under Tony Boselli, James Gladstone, and Liam Coen was extremely promising. After tallying just four wins in 2024, the Jaguars improved to 13 wins this past year and were the winners of the AFC South.
During their eight-game winning streak to close out the regular season, the Jaguars’ offense was one of the most productive in football, while the defense was one of the stingiest.
This team was operating at a very high level.
The Jaguars are already much further ahead now than they were a year ago. Rather than implementing two new schemes, they will spend the offseason building upon what has been established.
