The 2004 Jacksonville Jaguars season was the tenth season in franchise history, Jack Del Rio’s second year as the head coach of the Jacksonville Jaguars and Byron Leftwich’s first full year as starting quarterback. In a time of transition for the franchise, Del Rio’s coaching and Leftwich’s play helped to pull the Jaguars out of a four season slump to a finish of 9–7, placing second in the AFC South. However, they missed the playoffs for the fifth successive season.
