Jacksonville Jaguars Trivia Questions
1. What year did the Jacksonville Jaguars enter the NFL as an expansion team?

From Quiz All About The Jaguars

It was announced October 26, 1993 that Charlotte would get the 29th NFL team and 5 weeks later, on November 30, Jacksonville were awarded the 30th. Oddly enough, by 1997 St. Louis had a team (Rams moved from Los Angeles in 1995), Baltimore had a team (Cleveland Browns moved in 1996) and Nashville, Tennessee had a team (Oilers moved from Houston in 1997).

From Quiz All About The Jaguars

Answer: Carolina Panthers
