How to play the Jacksonville Jaguars history timeline

This deck is made of Jaguars milestones, each with a short description, and your goal is to order them by year. One card begins on the line with its year visible. Read the next card and place it before, after or between what's down. Correct guesses reveal the year; misses put the card in its true place and cost one of your three lives.

Jacksonville is one of the league's newer franchises, so the deck covers a fairly tight span, with cards in nearly every season. Success came quickly, followed by long rebuilds and a few surprising playoff runs. Those surprise runs read alike, and the descriptions about quarterbacks and coaches are your best way to tell them apart. High draft picks and big contracts are the other common trap.

Want a longer game? On the deck tree you can tick this deck alongside any other one measured in release years and dates, and they shuffle into a single timeline together.
