NFL’s Dozen<\/p>\n
Of the 12 teams that have not won a Super Bowl (Jaguars, Tennessee Titans, <\/a>Houston Texans, Arizona Cardinals, Atlanta Falcons, Buffalo Bills, Carolina Panthers, Cincinnati Bengals, Cleveland Browns, Detroit Lions, Los Angeles Chargers, and the Minnesota Vikings), perhaps no team will have a better chance to break their bad luck than the Jaguars.<\/a><\/p>\n Jacksonville Jaguars Executive Vice President of Football Operations Tony Boselli, left and Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Liam Coen watch warm up before an NFL football AFC Wild Card playoff matchup, Sunday, Jan. 11, 2026, in Jacksonville, Fla. Bills lead 10-7 at the half over the Jaguars.

The Jaguars will likely be the favorites for many in the AFC South, and Liam Coen’s squad will have a true contending window open. <\/p>\n With that said, it sure does feel like this year was perhaps the Jaguars’ greatest missed Super Bowl opportunity yet. The Jaguars didn’t win a playoff game, but it is tough to say they would not have had a shot at running the table if a play or two went differently against the Buffalo Bills. <\/p>\n Jacksonville Jaguars offensive coordinator Grant Udinski, left listens on the headset as Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Liam Coen call a play during the first quarter in an NFL football AFC Wild Card playoff matchup, Sunday, Jan. 11, 2026, in Jacksonville, Fla. Bills lead 10-7 at the half over the Jaguars. [Doug Engle\/Florida Times-Union] | Doug Engle\/Florida Times-Union \/ USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images<\/p>\n But the Jaguars are one of the most recent teams to enter the league as an expansion team, giving them a smaller window than most. Only the Texans have a smaller window, though most of the AFC South has struggled to make Super Bowl noise as only the Titans and Indianapolis Colts have even made the Super Bowl.<\/p>\n “Like the Panthers, the Jaguars entered the league in 1995. And, like Carolina, Jacksonville went to its conference title game in \u201996, losing to the Patriots at old Foxboro Stadium. Three years later, the Jaguars returned to that stage as a 14\u20132 juggernaut, but lost to the Titans, the only team to beat them all season,” SI’s Matt Verderame <\/a>said. <\/p>\n Former Jaguars Head Coach Tom Coughlin, left, talks with his former offensive lineman and now Jacksonville Jaguars Executive Vice President of Football Operations Tony Boselli during an NFL training camp session ten at the Miller Electric Center, Tuesday, Aug. 5, 2025, in Jacksonville, Fla. [Doug Engle\/Florida Times-Union] | Doug Engle\/Florida Times-Union \/ USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images<\/p>\n “Since the 1999 campaign, Jacksonville has only returned to the AFC title game once (2017), doing so in Cinderella fashion with a great defense and Blake Bortles leading the offense. Unfortunately for Jags fans, they lost 24\u201320 to New England, thwarting their latest Super Bowl bid.<\/p>\n Never again miss one major story related to your beloved Jaguars when you sign up for our 100% FREE newsletter that comes straight to your email with the latest news. \u00a0SIGN UP HERE NOW.<\/a><\/p>\n Follow us on X (Twitter)\u00a0@JaguarsOnSI\u00a0<\/a>and\u00a0@_John_Shipley<\/a>\u00a0and make sure you like our Facebook page,\u00a0WHEN YOU CLICK RIGHT HERE.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — 12 teams.
