Jacksonville Jaguars schedule: Games, dates, TV channels, predictions for 2025 season
Jacksonville Jaguars schedule: Games, dates, TV channels, predictions for 2025 season Show Caption Hide Caption Jaguars select Travis Hunter No. 2 overall, here's what they'll get Travis Hunter captivated the college football world with his two-way abilities and now the Jaguars are ready to see what he can do in the NFL Sports Pulse Jacksonville's quest for an NFL team began nearly 46 years ago on an August night in 1979. Over 50,000 people packed the Gator Bowl in an attempt to charm Robert Irsay to move his Baltimore Colts to the city in northern Florida. As the story goes, the Colts would eventually end up in Indianapolis, but Jacksonville left a lasting impression on the league. The organization "Touchdown Jacksonville" produced a video as part of their bid to lure a franchise, calling it a "City of Dreams." In 1993, the city was awarded a team that began play in 1995 – the Jacksonville Jaguars. A naming contest ensued from the organization, which also considered names like the Stingrays and Sharks before settling on the Jaguars, which flowed nicely. Fast forward all these years later and the Jaguars have cemented themselves in Jacksonville, hoping to kickstart a new era in 2025. Trevor Lawrence appears to be the quarterback for years to come, though it's a big year in his development. Travis Hunter is now the marquee star, looking to play both sides of the ball and Liam Coen hopes to guide the team in the right direction as the new head coach. Jacksonville coveted this team. Rumors have swirled for years about their future while the organization remains enamored with playing in London. The good news is, success can put all that to rest. That's what the Jaguars are after in 2025. Here's a look at their regular season schedule. Buy Jacksonville Jaguars tickets for the 2025 season Jacksonville Jaguars schedule 2025 This section will be updated when the NFL schedule is released on Wednesday, May 14. Week 1 : : Week 2 : : Week 3 : : Week 4 : : Week 5 : : Week 6 : : Week 7 : : Week 8 : : Week 9 : : Week 10 : : Week 11 : : Week 12 : : Week 13 : : Week 14 : : Week 15 : : Week 16 : : Week 17 : : Week 18: Jaguars record prediction 2025 Record prediction: 8-9 Fresh off a 4-13 season, Coen has his work cut out for him in Jacksonville. However, he'll be getting Lawrence back from injury and also have the luxury of some new weapons on offense to work with. That alone should be result in plenty of improvement. With the sixth-easiest schedule in 2025, per Sharp Football Analysis, can the Jaguars take advantage of a weak AFC South and get back to the playoffs? Let's pump the brakes a little on that. Jacksonville can easily be a sneaky playoff contender in 2025, but Coen might have some growing pains in the big chair. He's bounced back-and-forth between college and the pros over the last few seasons. He notably comes from the Sean McVay coaching tree and did a remarkable job with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last season. However, Coen opted to build a staff that doesn't come with a lot of experience. Offensive coordinator Grant Udinski and defensive coordinator Anthony Campanile are both holding those key roles for the first time in the NFL. A lot has to go right for a postseason appearance in Jacksonville. They appear to be on the right track and will win some more games thanks to an improved, healthy roster. The playoffs will have to wait for another year though. Jaguars opponents 2025 Below is a full list of Jacksonville's opponents for the upcoming season.

Giants QB Jaxson Dart took sparkling heart necklace from his sister's room
Jaxson Dart absolutely sparkled in his debut for the New York Giants. And he can thank his sister's jewelry collection for that. The first-round quarterback showed up for his news conference after his first practice of rookie minicamp Friday wearing a dazzling necklace that featured shiny, diamondlike-filled hearts. And the bling caught everyone's attention, especially when the lights from the team's indoor facility shined off it. "So, my little sister had it, it was hers," a smiling Dart said. "It was before our bowl game and as I was leaving the house over Christmas — a little break before the bowl game — and just saw it in her room. And I was like, you know what, I kind of like it. "So, I put it on and it's kind of been good luck for me ever since." At the Gator Bowl in January, Dart was selected the MVP after leading Mississippi to a 52-20 thrashing of Duke while wearing the necklace. He threw for 404 yards and four touchdowns, further cementing himself as one of the draft's top available quarterbacks. The Giants were so enthralled with Dart's talent that they traded back into the first round last month to take him with the 25th overall pick. The 21-year-old quarterback appeared to be wearing the necklace that day — and again when he was formally introduced by the team. "She likes it, she likes it," a grinning Dart said when asked what his sister thinks of him wearing her jewelry. "Now my little brother ordered one, too, so." It wasn't immediately known if the necklace actually contains diamonds or what material it was made of, but this one is staying around Dart's neck for now. Oh, and his sister eventually got a replacement for her jewelry box. "Yeah, we got her another one, too," the quarterback said. Dart joins the Giants seemingly with no pressure to play this season since New York signed veterans Russell Wilson — who's slated to be the starter — and Jameis Winston as free agents. But being on the sideline will be a new experience for Dart, who has been a starter for as long as he can remember. "I haven't really sat before," he acknowledged. That dates to his high school days in Utah, followed by a one-year stint at USC where he started three games as a freshman and then three years at Ole Miss. "I'm a competitor, so I'm going to come to work each and every day and do my best to make everybody around me better," he said. "I understand what the situation is, but for me and myself, I care about winning. There's nothing fun about losing, so it doesn't matter where you're at on the depth chart, if you're playing this much or not playing this much, if you're losing, it (stinks). "So, for me, I want to make the team better, and that's my focus." Dart is wearing No. 6 on his first jersey with the Giants — he was No. 2 at Ole Miss — but he acknowledged calling an audible might still be in play. "Yeah, I think we'll come to a final decision here soon," Dart said. "Quite honestly, I kind of have to just look at the pictures to see if I like myself in (No.) 6."
