Game that was: “It was electric…”


JACKSONVILLE – The ‘Bank was packed, and it was loud. Really packed and really loud.

The night was memorable, cool and rowdy – and in the aftermath of a division-title clinching victory, pretty much all Jaguars and coaches agreed:

The fans mattered Saturday. A lot.

“It was electric,” Head Coach Doug Pederson said.

Pederson, speaking after a 20-16 victory over the Tennessee Titans at TIAA Bank Field Saturday, echoed the sentiments of players who said the 70,050 cheering, raucous fans made the atmosphere memorable and shaped the game.

“The crowd was just jumping,” Jaguars cornerback Tyson Campbell said. “They were giving us a lot of energy. So, I appreciate the crowd that came today. They were a big part of us winning this game.”

Jaguars wide receiver Marvin Jones Jr. called the “electricity” Saturday as the Jaguars clinched the 2022 AFC South title with a fifth consecutive victory “second to none.”

“They deserve everything,” Jones said. “It was good to see a sea of teal. When they (the Titans) made a play, there was nobody that was celebrating. It was all good. They deserve it. This team deserves a winner. That’s the culture we’re obviously building here.

“The work is not done. We couldn’t be more happy.”

Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence called Saturday “one of the best game environments I’ve been in, honestly.”
