Why this one matters

This will be the first meeting between the Jaguars and Sheiks in nearly six years. Their last matchup came on Jan. 17, 2020, a tight affair that ended with Mendez edging Hollywood, 27-24. Expect a physical, low-possession game and an emphasis on defensive execution as both programs look to establish early-season league pecking order.
