“To fly out of Jax to KC, was going to be $500 a piece so that’s an extra $1,500 that we were going to spend to fly out there so we’re gonna save some money,” Corey Puccio said. “Drive, gonna get some good seats in KC and have extra money so next weekend we can have good seats as well.”
Those seats are going to be as good as it gets too. Puccio, Michael Fleming and their friend Jeb are going to be going crazy.
Puccio went to Pittsburgh and New England in 2017. But he says this team is different. The decision to go was made once they realized a playoff run was possible.
Now, they’re getting their suitcases ready. They plan on hitting the road on Thursday night.

“Just bring all the Jaguar gear you got, lucky draws and lets go get it,” Puccio said. “I got my lucky socks with me, teal and black hard hat ready to go man.”
After the historic comeback last week against the Chargers, these fans believe the Jags can pull out a win.
“It gives me goosebumps just thinking about it right now. I truly think we have a chance to shock the world this Saturday,” Puccio said.
To pull off an over 32-hour round trip in a car with best friends -- seeing their favorite team fight in the playoffs -- is a dream come true.

“I’ll remember this the rest of my life,” Puccio said.
