For me, this was probably the most memorable way a team clinched a playoff berth. I know it was crazy how the 2003 Packers clinched a playoff berth, but I couldn't believe how Jacksonville got into the postseason in 1996. What are some of the crazy NFL playoff clinchers you remember? Thanks for watching this video.

[@Lonewolf026]

Tom Coughlin had that team playing hard. I remember that jags team and I was so shocked but happy for them and their success

[@GermanSantos-xs3nu]

Tom Couglin was one of the best head coaches who led the Jacksonville Jaguars to 2 American Football Conference(AFC) Championship Games appearances throughout the playoffs, one in the year 1996 and the other in 1999. These Jaguars could've won AFC Championship in 96 and in 99 to compete for the Super Bowl during the Mark Brunell Era.

[@90sSportsNostalgia]

You are correct about TC. I too was shocked and happy for their success. Thank you so much. Enjoy Week 18 of the NFL season.

[@steelcurtain187]

This was super memorable. I loved those Jaguars teams in the 90s. Great job covering it!

[@90sSportsNostalgia]

Thank you so much for everything. Those Jaguars teams in the '90s were fun to watch. Yes, that missed kick was also so super memorable for me. Thanks again for everything.

[@thenextrung]

Those upsets of Buffalo and Denver blew my mind! Throughout the 96 playoffs I hoped for a Carolina vs Jacksonville Super Bowl. Unfortunately this did not occur, but it almost did.

[@90sSportsNostalgia]

To begin, thank you so much for being a subscriber. Yes, I am so with you, that those upsets blew my mind. I still can't believe that Denver upset. That would have been something if CAR and JAX made it to the Super Bowl. That NFL owners meeting would have been crazy in the offseason because of the questions they had to ask, did we give too much to the expansion teams (like extra draft picks and lesser salary cap restrictions). Because of their success, perhaps it made it more difficult for Cleveland in 1999 and Houston in 2002 to not be able to be as successful. Thanks again.

[@GermanSantos-xs3nu]

@@90sSportsNostalgia I could agree with you more. Back in the year of 1999, the Cleveland Browns expansion returned to the National Football League. And the Houston Texans new football team franchise started their inaugural season in the year of 2002. If both of those football teams would've gained some experience in becoming a winning tradition and selecting the right players and developed the right format, they would've been competing for a playoff contention and become contenders through the playoffs in their beginning seasons. But it took them years to achieve success to compete in the NFL playoffs.

Happy Saturday 90s Sports Nostalgia

[@90sSportsNostalgia]

Happy Saturday (sorry, it's now Sunday). But enjoy your weekend.

[@morrieswigs]

Great coaching by Coughlin. The Jags have been a mess since he was fired.

[@90sSportsNostalgia]

Coughlin was the right hire back then. Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching the video.

[@astrostar49]

1996 to 1999 Jags were awesome. Wish they had least made a SB one of those years. Surprised they didn't make it in 1999. Coughlin era never recovered after that.😢

[@90sSportsNostalgia]

Astrostar49, hope 2024 is treating you well. From 1996-1999, yes the Jags were awesome and entertaining. I too wish they made at least a SB during that span. Hope all is well. Take care.

[@2911_j_s]

Around the mid 90s and early 2000s,new expansion teams made a surprisingly deep Playoff Run and sometimes even won the championships such as Avalanche,Ravens

[@90sSportsNostalgia]

Thank you so much for your comment and thanks for watching the video. Sorry for my comment, I don't want to be disrespectful, but with the Ravens, in a way they were an expansion franchise (due to the history and stats and so forth stayed in Cleveland and did not go with the Ravens). But in reality, the franchise just relocated from Cleveland and the history of the franchise stayed in Cleveland. I believe this is also the situation with Quebec and Colorado. For example, it's not like the Baltimore Orioles where they include the St. Louis Browns' history part of their history. But I really do like your comment as you found a loophole. Great job. Thanks again. Have a great 2024.

[@2911_j_s]

@@90sSportsNostalgia no problem fella,have a great time

[@SkolneyVikings]

That missed kick is one of the greatest butterfly effect moments in NFL history. Does Denver win that super bowl? Does Brett Favre never win one? Does Parcells hang around in New England longer? Does that lead to Belichick never being Patriots HC?

[@90sSportsNostalgia]

Wow, you are getting deep with your thinking about a simple kick and I like it. I've never thought about the butterfly effect and the what-ifs with this outcome, but you asked some great questions. Thank you so much for the comment.

[@steelcurtain187]

Good call these are all great thoughts and what ifs

[@Fireyninjadog]

The playoff win at Denver may be the greatest playoff upset ever. You have a 2nd year team, with a turnover prone offense and a terrible defense, taking on the juggernaut of a team, who was unshakable at home, had talent everywhere, and was destined for a super bowl. Somehow, they prevailed

[@90sSportsNostalgia]

Thanks for the comment. I enjoyed reading it. I know the 1987 replacement situation where Washington defeated Dallas ( I think I got that right ) is the greatest upset ever, but for me, I think that Jaguars victory in Denver was the greatest upset ever. That was so unbelievable. I still can't believe that happened. But great comment with a lot of good information. Thanks again.

[@Fireyninjadog]

I personally think the greatest upset ever is 1978 Colts at Patriots. The colts were 0-2, getting outscored 80-0 in those 2 games. They turned the ball over 10 times in those 2 games. The pats were 1-1, and looked much better. They were hosting the monday night showdown. The colts had lost 4 of their last 5 in foxboro, and the last time they were on mnf, they got blasted 38-0. The colts won 34-27, with 27 fourth quarter points, and a hell of a game by joe washington. New england finished 11-5 in 1978, while baltimore finished 5-11. This was their only division win that year. The colts were 17.5 underdogs coming into that game​@90sSportsNostalgia

[@lucyloo2228]

@@Fireyninjadogthe Jaguars were 18 point underdogs heading into Denver in 1996.

[@Fireyninjadog]

​​​@@lucyloo2228fair enough. Maybe you're right. But they were a 12.5 underdog

[@GermanSantos-xs3nu]

The Jacksonville Jaguars had competed in 3 American Football Conference(AFC) Championship appearances throughout their years in the playoffs within the NFL. One in the year of 1996, Second in the year of 1999, and in their 3rd AFC Championship in 2017 against Quarterback Tom Brady and the New England Patriots while the Jaguars had quarterback Blake Bortles. Based on this video, The Jacksonville Jaguars were very close to being eliminated from playoff contention by not clinching to the playoffs in 1996 if it weren't for the field goal try from the kicker Morgan Anderson of the Atlanta Falcons. Thank Goodness the field goal was missed and the Jaguars survived with the winnjng victory. The Jaguars could've been contenders to compete in the SuperBowl if they would've maintained their lead against the Patriots within 10 point deficit 20 - 10 during the 2nd half.

[@90sSportsNostalgia]

Once again, great comment with a lot of information.

[@GermanSantos-xs3nu]

@@90sSportsNostalgia Thank you very much

[@lucyloo2228]

The Jaguars were also leading at halftime against the Titans in 1999, in the AFC Championship game.

[@dcfog81]

That wild card game turned out to be Jim Kelly's last, unbeknownst to everyone at the time, including Bills fans as they didn't sell out the stadium, and the game was blacked out in Buffalo

[@90sSportsNostalgia]

Really, wow, I had no idea that game wasn't sold out and it was blacked out in Buffalo. Thanks for mentioning that. I would've never have guessed that. But yes, you are correct about Jim Kelly's last game, and then for the 1999 season, Dan Marino's final game was also against JAX. Thanks again. I really like your comment.

[@dcfog81]

@90sSportsNostalgia en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Football_League_television_blackout_policies I remember them mentioning it on TV at the time, but I went to the Blackout History section of the Wiki page to make sure. Yup, it's there. I also saw that the famous Bills comeback vs the Oilers in Jan 1993 was also blacked out, so no one in Buffalo got to see it on TV. That's crazy!

[@anthonyrivera4735]

The Jaguars were even 3-6 through nine games.

[@90sSportsNostalgia]

Yes, you are correct. And at that time, I'm sure I was thinking that JAX was not going to the postseason. Of course, I was wrong. That '96 Jaguars team was something else. Thanks for watching the video and thanks for the comment.

[@BrockBoone]

If I were you I would put the 83 Seahawks

[@90sSportsNostalgia]

You're going way before my time, but I really appreciate the comment. I kind of had an idea of the the 1983 Seahawks team with them losing to the Raiders, but because of you, I did check them out even more. Much love to the Seahawks and Dave Krieg during the Chuck Knox days. Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching the video.

[@dowpman1]

should have been Elway vs Favre that year too

[@90sSportsNostalgia]

It seemed like it was headed that way, and then this crazy upset. Thanks for watching the video and thanks for the comment.

[@lucyloo2228]

It should’ve been Brunell vs Collins in the 1996 season. It should have been Brunell vs Warner in the 1999 season. It should have been Bortles vs Foles in the 2017 season.
