In the final week of the regular season, the Jags secured the division title for the third time in 26 years. They beat the Tennessee Titans 41-7 to pip the Houston Texans to the AFC South top spot. <\/p>\n
During that game, Little scored the first 67-yard field goal in the NFL. He now has the two longest field goals in league history.<\/p>\n
Last season, they won just four games and brought in a new head coach in Liam Coen as well as former player Tony Boselli as executive vice-president of football operations. <\/p>\n
Under their guidance, they won 13 games and head into the play-offs on a eight-game winning streak.<\/p>\n
“Something that coach Coen’s harped on is just going 1-0 every week,” says Little.<\/p>\n
“Everyone’s on the same page as far as captains on the team, guys that are leaders on the team, and front office and head coach and coaching staff. <\/p>\n
“When you combine those three levels of front office, coaching staff, and captains on the team and leaders on the team, that forms to success.<\/p>\n
The Jaguars will now face the Buffalo Bills in the AFC Wild Card round on Sunday at 18:00 GMT. <\/p>\n
For Little, it is another special moment in his career.<\/p>\n
“This is the first time in my career that I’ve played post-season football that matters – where you win or go home. So I think it makes for a fun environment, not only for us playing in it, but for the fans as well. It brings a side of Jacksonville that I’m excited to see.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In the final week of the regular season, the Jags secured the division title for the third time…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":395693,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[436],"tags":[49,48,514,82],"class_list":{"0":"post-395692","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nfl","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-nfl","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/395692","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=395692"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/395692\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/395693"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=395692"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=395692"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=395692"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
