The 1998 Jacksonville Jaguars season was the franchise’s fourth year in the National Football League (NFL). The team equaled the 11–5 record from their previous season, but won their first division title, as both the Tennessee Oilers and Pittsburgh Steelers lost crucial games near the end of the regular season. In the playoffs the Jaguars won their Wild Card game versus the New England Patriots, 25–10, but lost the following week in the Divisional round against the New York Jets, 34–24.

The Jaguars appeared twice on Monday Night Football, winning both games. [1]
