NOTE THE QUOTE WR ZAY JONES
“Losses will tell you a lot about yourself, a lot about yourself as a man, and adversity and the type of character that you have instilled. I think we’re at a good point in our season now as a new Jaguars team to decide, ‘Are we going to turn the table and be something new? I truly believe that this is a special group that moving forward, I believe in this group to win football games.”

CRUCIAL CATCH
Since 2009, the NFL and the American Cancer Society (ACS) have teamed up to fight cancer and save lives. Crucial Catch helps more people catch cancer early, and addresses the unequal burden of cancer in under-resourced communities. Crucial Catch promotes prevention and early detection of cancer, which can impact anyone at any age, and increases access to lifesaving cancer screenings. Since 2009, Crucial Catch has raised more than $24 million and impacted over one million people in communities that need it most.
Money raised through Crucial Catch supports the American Cancer Society’s Community Health Advocates implementing Nationwide Grants for Empowerment and Equity (CHANGE) program. This program promotes health equity and addresses cancer early detection disparities through community-based cancer prevention programs that increase access to necessary cancer screenings.
Fans will see the official multi-colored logo around TIAA Bank Field and on helmet decals, cleats, towels, sideline caps and other equipment. The Jaguars will salute cancer survivors, those still battling and the health care workers who care for them throughout Sunday’s game.
During the first quarter, fans in attendance will have an opportunity to honor loved ones that have been impacted by cancer. Florida Blue will provide 60,000 “I Stand For” signs where fans can write the name of a special person in their life that has been diagnosed with cancer.
