Yes, I believe I mentioned that the Jags haven’t had a blackout in two years - which goes back to the last game of 2009. And since then, they’ve had a strong community outreach - lead by Tony Boselli. In fact, Boselli’s group was formed during that horrific 2009 season, and its original goal was to sell out that last game - against the Colts. They did that, and expanded their support.

What does it matter if the Jags need last minute sales to lift the blackout? That’s a lot better than the half a dozen teams who’ve had blackouts.

And yes, the Jags have published their ticket sales. As of July, they were ahead of last year’s pace.

Because those “last minute sales” were likely to themselves:

Games don’t have to be sold out to be on television. Teams are allowed to buy unsold tickets at 34 cents on the dollar to lift the local TV blackout.

Which means they really weren’t sold.
