The Jacksonville Jaguars have established themselves as a good team on the football field. They showed that during the 2022 regular season, by winning the divisional title. But they apparently did it while dealing with rodents on a daily basis. Fans rub their eyes as the Jaguars’ locker room turns into a house of rats.
The Jaguars aren’t the worst locker room when it comes to the entire NFL. But fans still can’t believe that a billion-dollar organization can’t get rid of the rats.
Jacksonville Jaguars locker room or a house of rats?

The fans just can’t believe that it happened. All they are asking is how can a billion-dollar team let this kind of stuff happen. Here are some fan reactions.

But the Jaguars aren’t the worst team in the NFL in this regard.
That's an interesting point actually. You'd think they would rank the worst NFL locker room considering..
They're 28th. The 3 teams ranked worst are: Commanders, Cardinals and Chargers.
With the Commanders being the worst, just to be clear.

So, the Jaguars didn’t have the worst locker room in the NFL. It was the Washington Commanders who had it the worst in the league. It would be interesting to know what happened in the Commanders’ locker room to rank it the worst, even after the Jaguars’ rat problem. But the Jaguars didn’t let all that hamper their performance in the 2022 season.

The title hunt for the Jaguars
The Jaguars put on a great performance in the NFL season 2022 to clinch the AFC South title. The team won nine games out of their 17 and made their way to the postseason. But their most memorable win came during the playoffs.
The Jaguars overcame a 27-point deficit to defeat the Los Angeles Chargers 31-30. So, their first postseason game since the 2017 season became the most memorable one for them. And they did it in a season in which they fought off rats in the locker room.
