At one point in the season, the Jags were 2-6 and lost 5 in a row. Fans say to make it this far exceeds expectations.

“Everybody always believed just got to maximize the opportunities, but a heck of a season,” Wesley Scott said.

“We weren’t supposed to win the division they said, we weren’t supposed to win the first playoff game they said, and to finish the season the way we did was gravy, the cherry on top it just shows what there will be many wins to come in the future,” Satchel Whetsel.

Even though the ride is over, fans say this is just the beginning.

“This fan base has come back together in words you can’t describe,” Whetsel said.”We don’t regret a single moment of tonight we fought back and will get them next time.”
