Jaguars: 5 Reasons Jacksonville Will Win the AFC in 2018

No. 1: A Dedication to Winning

Shahid Khan is a great owner. He does whatever it takes, within the rules of course, to make the Jaguars a successful team. He is not one of the most noticeable NFL owners, though, and that is for the benefit of the franchise.

Khan, who purchased London’s Wembley Stadium this past spring, can control all revenues the Jaguars get when they play in London. This, in a way, helps him keep the Jaguars in Jacksonville. The Jaguars play in the No. 47 media market in the U.S. Only the New Orleans Saints , Buffalo Bills and Green Bay Packers play in smaller markets. Therefore, anything that enriches Khan in any way only makes it more likely the Jaguars will stay in Jacksonville.

He is also wise enough to hire solid football minds (such as executive vice president Tom Coughlin) to run the day-to-day operations of his franchise.

Why does this matter? It’s simple, really. A number of owners and ownership groups do not dedicate their efforts to their franchises winning championships. Instead, the bottom line is all that matters. Khan likes his revenue, obviously. But there’s a dedication to putting a championship-caliber squad out on the field. One needs to look no further than the free-agent moves the Jaguars made to upgrade the defense not too long ago as a case example.
