“Every game is physical, but there’s a little more heightened awareness when you’re playing a divisional opponent, especially in our division because it’s run-heavy with the running backs that are in our division,” head coach Doug Pederson said earlier this week.

Sunday’s gridiron clash will also be special for the men and women who represent our country. The Jags will be dedicating the game to honor military members in what they have dubbed the Salute to Service Game. Around 4,000 game tickets have been donated to military, veterans, and families.

According to the Jags, the City of Jacksonville will honor a Hall of Fame Veteran during pre-game warmups. Additionally, veterans, military personnel, and military family members from all six military branches will hold the American Flag as well as military branch flags during the National Anthem.

“The Star-Spangled Banner” will be performed by Jacksonville resident and U.S. Navy veteran Paris Winningham. She finished third on Season 21 of NBC’s The Voice.

The Jags also announced that the flyover will be executed by the 71st Rescue Squadron out of Moody Air Force Base and the first DUUUVAL will be delivered by U.S. Army Sgt. Matthew Mitchell.

Continuing on the theme of appreciation, a week of clothing donations from the general public and Jaguars staff will be given to the Downtown Ecumenical Services Council (DESC), a nonprofit organization helping local residents in emergency situations or experiencing poverty.
