Shahid Khan acquired the team from its first main owner Wayne Weaver in 2012 and now owns it.

By making the playoffs in four of their first five seasons, the Jaguars had a significant impact on the NFL from the start. They won two division championships, appeared in two AFC Championship Games, and made four consecutive playoff trips between their second and fifth seasons.

By their second season in 1996, they and the Panthers became the newest NFL expansion team to play in a conference championship and clinch their conference’s top seed (by their fifth season in 1999).

Since 2000, the Jaguars have won just one division title and made only three postseason appearances. They are one of four NFL teams without a Super Bowl appearance.
