Question: Florida has three NFL teams—the Dolphins, Buccaneers, and Jaguars. Which city was the last of the three to get its NFL franchise?
Answer: Jacksonville
Jacksonville was the last of the three Florida cities to land an NFL team. The Jacksonville Jaguars were awarded as an expansion franchise on November 30, 1993, and began play in the 1995 NFL season alongside the Carolina Panthers. By comparison, the Miami Dolphins debuted in 1966 (as an AFL team that joined the NFL in the 1970 merger), and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers started play in 1976, making Jacksonville the newcomer by nearly two decades.
