The Jaguars opened the 2025 season at home against Carolina on September 7, 2025, and a home opener at EverBank Stadium is a big deal: teal all over the stands, Jaxson de Ville on the sideline, and every touchdown celebrated like a playoff score. Brian Thomas Jr.'s touchdown went up on the board, and the celebration happened right in front of the stands. I worked from the sideline photo pit and the goal line, which is where the celebrations and the Panthers' catches along the sideline happened.
