It’s safe to say that the Jacksonville Jaguars really surprised a lot of people this year. Just one year after finishing with the worst record in the NFL for the second straight season, the Jaguars not only won the AFC South Division and clinched a playoff berth, but they also beat the Los Angeles Chargers in the Wild Card Round to advance to a Division Round matchup with the Kansas City Chiefs, where they fell by just one score. But according to head coach Doug Pederson, the team is capable of even more in the future.
During a press conference on Monday, Doug Pederson revealed that he thinks the team is “close” to having a core of players that could lead the team to the Super Bowl in the future.

“We’re close,” Pederson said Monday according Ben Arthur of FOXSports.com. “I think the leadership is right. I think the core guys that we have are right. Look, It just boils down to continuing to work hard, just trusting in each other. There’s consistency with the staff. There’s consistency with the players. You look at some of these teams that are still playing and that’s what they’ve had.
“That’s what it takes: that continuity and consistency. We’re just kind of at the beginning of that.”
It sure looks like the future is bright in Jacksonville.
