JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS VS. HOUSTON TEXANS – SUNDAY, DEC. 19
The Jacksonville Jaguars will host their division rival, the Houston Texans, this weekend at TIAA Bank Field. Sunday’s matchup will be the 20th meeting between the two teams in Jacksonville. The game kicks off at 1 p.m. and will be broadcast regionally on CBS and on radio on WJXL (1010AM, 92.5 FM) and in Spanish on 930AM/97.3FM via Accion.

PREGAME PATRIOTISM
The national anthem will be performed by saxophonist BK Jackson. Jackson is an international performer and has performed with artists such as Prince, Bruno Mars, and B.B. King.
The American field flag will be held by local high school coaches and athletes. Members of the newly-crowned state championship team from Trinity Christian Academy will also be in attendance.
The flyover will be executed by the 71st Rescue Squadron at Moody Air Force Base located near Valdosta, Ga. The 71st was first activated on Nov. 15, 1952 and specializes in combat and rescue operations. The crew recently deployed to Kabul to assist with the US-led evacuation of over 124,000 personnel, which became the most historic airlift in US history. The crew dedicates Sunday’s flyover to all members involved in that operation.
FIRST DUUUVAL
The First DUUUVAL will be delivered by 16-time wrestling world champion Ric Flair.
2021 DUUUVAL DERBY
Sunday’s halftime show will be the Jaguars’ inaugural “DUUUVAL Derby: Corgi Edition.” Working together with Sunshine Corgi Rescue, 10 dogs will compete in three waves to determine the fastest Corgi in DUUUVAL. Sunshine Corgi Rescue is a non-profit organization dedicated to offering a second chance to any corgi in need of a new home. For more information, visit www.sunshinecorgirescue.org.
