The advertising leading up to the game mentioned that despite being in the same state and it being the Jaguars fourth year of existence, this was their first meeting. The game lasts one night, but the bragging rights are forever. Their playoff meeting the next season was the most lopsided playoff game over the last 80 years, which was the final NFL game Jimmy Johnson coached and Dan Marino played in.
The Jaguars could've still let the Fins have a walkthrough unless the stadium had a conflict that would've prevented it. It's not as if the Fins waited until, say, August to request it.
This unofficial Official Jaguar Gator 9 historian will remind everyone you made a video about Jacksonville’s next home game against an in-state opponent that year when they hosted the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Before that game a fan got arrested for scalping tickets for three cents above the legal limit in DUUUUUVALLL!!! What is it about your Jaguars and nitpicking over the number 3 in 1998?
Very unusual for anybody to point out another team cheating against the Dolphins. Every time it happens, the league and vast majority of fans just laugh it off while these same people can't bash and trash the Dolphins enough for breaking the rules.
Not the first time a team refused to allow the Dolphins to practice on their field before a game. The NFL had to literally force the Chargers to let them do it before the infamous '94 playoff game. The one where the lights and AC just "happened" to go out in the Fins' locker room at halftime and nowhere else in the whole stadium. Yeah, that game.
This was during the time that Florida was the capital of the College Football universe, with UF, FSU and Miami all Top-5 programs in the late 90s/early 2000s. The Jags, Dolphins and Bucs were also perennial playoff teams during that time. The NFL tried to take advantage of that by slotting the all-Florida matchups either on SNF (Bucs/Dolphins in 97), MNF or in the prime 4:00PM slot (like Jags/Bucs were later on that season) but no rivalries ever really materialized because the three teams hardly ever play each other.
It's rules lawyering. Other teams probably had no problem letting the visiting team do a walk-through if necessary as long as enough notice was provided. If it were another team and this happened, the Jags would have let them do a walk-through. But since it was the older, more popular in-state rival, the Jags did it to get one over on them.
Jags still haven't won anything.. they literally lost 3 times to the Titans in a year they went 15-3.. but they were a really good team in the late 90s
Coughlin was such a shrewd lawyer. He wanted to know everything about everything. And when comes to being late, he showed no mercy to his own players. Like hell he'd show any to an opponent.
Deadlines are deadlines. Would it be common courtesy to give them the walkthrough, yeah. Am I going to take advantage while staying inside the rules, hell yeah.
Unrelated side note, but has there ever been a time where two teams were in the same state and conference for almost 30 years and were never in the same division? I really can't think of an intrastate rivalry being in the same conference (in this case, the AFC) but different divisions.
This isn't the only cheating scandal on Monday Night Football that year as 4 months later on MNF in England with the Premier League, Charlton was playing Liverpool at home in an important match for both clubs. Charlton needed a win in order to keep their hopes of staying in the league alive as they were in a relegation battle with 4 other teams while Liverpool needed a win in order to remain in the top 4 & the Champions League places. However towards the end of the match with the score 1-0, the lights went out. The real reason why the lights went out was because a Malaysian betting syndicate needed that exact scoreline (in Liverpool's favor) to make max profits from the match & attempted to cut off the power to the stadium lights. However in the post match interview, Liverpool's coach (without any knowledge about who was actually behind the incident) accused Charlton's players & the coach of being in cahoots with the referee & the stadium staff to turn the lights off on purpose in order to get a favorable result, even though they had nothing to do with it. As for the Malaysian betting syndicate, they were actually caught in the act and the 2 members that were at the stadium were arrested for their actions. They also didn't make a profit from the match as Charlton were the ones leading 1-0 which was the final score when the last 5 minutes of the match were completed after a 30 minute delay. In the end, not only did the syndicate not make any money off the match but also got two of its members 4 year prison sentences in a UK jail.
Nice how you made that all Miami’s fault - yeah they were 3-days late. So glad that Jacksonville was able to parlay that shithouse move into sooo many championships. Remind me to root for them the next time they are in a Super Bowl.

God that was a sad day for Dolphin fans
@@teen_laqueefa not as sad as seeing Skylar thompson play

As a Steelers fan we don’t consider the Jaguars a rival in the slightest
The Jaguars were in the now-defunct AFC Central just to fill an open spot anyway.
We used to back in the AFCC days.

Fun fact
Florida is America's Wang. Anatomically
Rules is rules as would be said... very interesting topic. Thanks again!
Does this mean that if an NFL team wanted a walkthrough for a December game, they could request it in September?
What a soft excuse. "We didn't get to see the grass and lights ahead of time!"
At 6:19 we’d see the last time Tony Brackens would recover a Dan Marino fumble.
There was a Broncos/Browns game in Cleveland in 1989 in which the fans caused a severe disadvantage for Denver.
Sam Wyche was specifically alluding to that game when he did "You don't live in Cleveland".
I remember that playoff game so well it was worse than the score
It was already 38-0 with about 12 minutes to go in the second quarter.
@@johnwiesner9590 I hated it ended that way for Dan Marino

Almost like Karma for the little roof set up they have now. "Let's shine the sun on one sideline"
@TheRedScum420 you complain when you lose in the heat and the snow ("the bengals cheated because it was snowing")
It's common courtesy to allow the opposing team a walk through. Although the team could just get there early, walk around, and check things out.
Not the first time a team refused to allow the Dolphins to practice on their field before a game. The NFL had to literally force the Chargers to let them do it before the infamous '94 playoff game.

When Florida ceased to matter in college and NFL football is when humanity started collapsing to where it is today. Prove me wrong.
About time you did a story about those cheating Jaguars.
Bad ole Jaguars.
:P

Currently talking myself into subscribing to JG7 even though I despise baseball… ugg to be a JG fan in this time of expansion…
The first all-Florida AFC game on Monday night.
One of three Fins road choke jobs costing them a bye that season. At least they got a playoff win over the Bills.
Jacksonville Jaguars mindset: “Can’t cheat if there’s no rules to break.”
Jags still haven't won anything.. they literally lost 3 times to the Titans in a year they went 15-3.. but they were a really good team in the late 90s
Coughlin was such a shrewd lawyer. He wanted to know everything about everything. And when comes to being late, he showed no mercy to his own players. Like hell he'd show any to an opponent.
We were punished for this because after that 1999 playoff win, we were terrible for about two decades
Deadlines are deadlines. Would it be common courtesy to give them the walkthrough, yeah. Am I going to take advantage while staying inside the rules, hell yeah.
I was at a Rangers-Islanders game with my brother when we saw the score of 62-7 and had no idea what to think. Also luckily the Rangers won.
Screw the Rangers. Choke artists.
'94 cup was '80's oilers.
They used this game for a walk through for the 99 division round 😁 LET'S GO JAGS
How did that afc title game go again? Oh right. 0-3 vs the titans

The Jaguars didn't cheat. The Dolphins should've requested the walkthrough before the deadline.
Well, as a Dolphins fan, I have to say that it's not cheating.
We won that game fair and square. Get over it. Go jags ;)
Walkthrough Nazis

It's okay Miami. Doug Flutie, a 5'9 quarterback, ended their streak the next week on a great bootleg keeper.
Nice how you made that all Miami’s fault - yeah they were 3-days late. So glad that Jacksonville was able to parlay that shithouse move into sooo many championships. Remind me to root for them the next time they are in a Super Bowl.
62-7.
Bro you really mad about a 20+ year old game maybe they shouldn't have been DAYS late when they a live down the highway. Crybaby
