Jacksonville Champions - Fiction from Adam Nathaniel Davis

Jacksonville Champions

T
he Jacksonville Champions are a professional American football team based in Jacksonville, Florida. They compete in the National Football League (NFL) as a member of the American Football Conference (AFC) South division. The team plays its home games at One World Stadium.
Founded alongside the Carolina Panthers in 1995 as an expansion team, they were originally called the Jaguars. The franchise is owned by  Reginald Howell, founder and CEO of Hegemony International. He purchased the team in 2042 and immediately renamed them as the Champions.
 
Dynasty
Although their fortunes throughout the first 47 years of their existence were middling-to-poor, they have since become a dynasty under  Howell's ownership. Since 2049, they have captured 19 of the last 21 Super Bowls. Seventeen of those championship games have been won by 21 points or more. The Champions are the only team in NFL history to have gone undefeated under the NFL's current 20-game regular season format, having accomplished the feat seven times.
 
Scandal
Their most recent non-championship season came in 2067, when they lost the Super Bowl to the Detroit Lions on a 66-yard field goal as time expired. The fiasco has since come to be known as The Shame of the Game. The succeeding fallout spawned two years of Congressional inquiries and resulted in the resignation of NFL commissioner Peyton Manning, as well as U.S. president Jimmy Donaldson (a.k.a. MrBeast), and most of the ranking members of his cabinet.
