Send us a textThe Jacksonville Jaguars' season comes to a tough end, and we're breaking it all down on “Touchdown Jaguars!”. In this episode, we recap the wildcard round loss to the Buffalo Bills, dig into getting through the tough loss, and look ahead to what's next for Jacksonville. This week we were joined by JP Acosta of CBS Sports and “Pushing the Pile” to talk Senior Bowl prospects the Jags should have their eyes on, key pending free agents who could shape the offseason, and the league's desire to add members of the Jags' coaching staff . Plenty of insight, plenty of debate, and all eyes on the future of the Jaguars—don't miss it.Touchdown Jaguars Linktree James Johnson and Phil Barrera bring you the best and most up to date Jacksonville Jaguars news. "Touchdown Jaguars!" is a tribute to the prospective ownership group "Touchdown Jacksonville!" In 1991, the NFL announced plans to add two expansion teams and "Touchdown Jacksonville!" announced its bid for a team, and Jacksonville was ultimately chosen as one of five finalists. In November 1993, the NFL owners voted 26–2 in favor of awarding the 30th franchise to Jacksonville. James and Phil have been fans of the franchise ever since and have had the honor (and sometimes dishonor) of covering the team professionally since 2017. The rest as they say, is history.
