JACKSONVILLE, Fla.<\/strong> \u2013 The Jacksonville Jaguars finished the season opener game on their own turf against the Carolina Panthers on Sunday.<\/p>\n

The team took down the Panthers 26 to 10 at EverBank Stadium.<\/p>\n

Fans packed stadium seats to witness the first game of the season, and the first game under a new head coach, general manager and two-way star Travis Hunter.<\/p>\n

In the second quarter, officials had to pause the game due to a brief weather delay, but once they were given the clear, the Jags were back to dominating the Panthers.<\/p>\n

But the minor pause didn\u2019t change the fans\u2019 momentum.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe beautiful part about the rain delay was that we got that cool down,\u201d Edmundo Marcial said.<\/p>\n

Most fans were excited about the team\u2019s future, calling the Jags \u201celectric\u201d and \u201cundefeated.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cIt was awesome. Definitely a 10 out of 10 experience,\u201d one fan told News4JAX. \u201cI\u2019ll definitely be back.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBringing that old school Jaguar feeling to the city, to the team and to the fans,\u201d someone else said.<\/p>\n

Other fans shared their first game experience, and lifelong fans dropped some of their bold expectations for the team as well. <\/p>\n

\u201cIf you\u2019re a Jaguar fan and seeing what\u2019s happening through the draft and all the changes like that this year and now the new stadium modification — the Jaguars are moving in the right direction,\u201d Marcial said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey look good. They look good offensively and defensively. It was good to see Travis Hunter on both sides of the field,\u201d Bryson Bailey said.<\/p>\n

The team will travel to Cincinnati next week to face the Bengals.<\/p>\n
