The Jacksonville Jaguars became the thirtieth National Football League (NFL) franchise in 1993 and the Jaguars began play two years later. The Jacksonville Jaguars have been quite successful for an expansion team. The Jacksonville Jaguars are a National Football League (NFL) team and one of four teams playing in the Southern Division of the American Football Conference (AFC), which is part of the National Football League (NFL). The Jaguars play at ALLTEL Stadium in Jacksonville, Florida, and their uniform colors are, teal, black, and gold. Jacksonville joined the National Football League (NFL) as an expansion team in 1995.

During the Jaguars’ first year, the team fielded the American Football Conference’s (AFC) worst defense, losing nine games by more than twenty four points. Offensively, however, they were successful. Mark Brunell, who had previously played in only two National Football League (NFL) games, posted the highest rating of any expansion team quarterback in league history. He also led all National Football League (NFL) quarterbacks that year in rushing, becoming the first American Football Conference (AFC) quarterback to run for more than four hundred yards in a season since Mike Pagel of the Baltimore Colts (now Indianapolis Colts) in 1983. Overall, Jacksonville’s offensive performance ranked third all time among first year franchises. In 1996 the Jaguars won nine games and were rewarded with a wild card berth to the playoffs.
