JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Jacksonville Jaguars fans left EverBank Stadium in high spirits Sunday after their team’s commanding 35-6 victory over the Los Angeles Chargers, a win that keeps their playoff hopes alive.
The atmosphere marked a dramatic turnaround from their previous home game, where the Jaguars surrendered a substantial lead to the Houston Texans in the final minutes.

A lone Chargers fan, a young girl, suggested the Jaguars “got lucky,” but the home team’s decisive margin of victory told a different story.
