This week is the first step of the NFL post-season, Super Wild Card Weekend. The Los Angeles Chargers come to town for the team's fifth home playoff game in history (the Jaguars are 3-1 at home in the postseason), with an 8:15 p.m. kickoff on NBC.

By the way: bundle up. The game-time temperature is forecast to be around 40 degrees. According to News4Jax meteorologist Richard Nunn, the coldest temperature for a Jaguars home game in franchise history was 38 degrees for a 1 p.m. kickoff on Dec. 26, 2010, against Washington, a 20-17 overtime loss.

The lowest temperature at kickoff for a Jags' road game was Dec. 17, 2000, at Cincinnati. It was 9 degrees and the Jags lost 17-14.

Here's the Game Day guide for fans:

Pregame activities

Big John at The Bank: The first "Duuuval!" will be delivered by former Jaguars defensive tackle John Henderson. The 6-7, 335-pounder, nicknamed "Big John," teamed up with Marcus Stroud anchor the Jaguars defensive front. Henderson finished his career with 29.0 sacks and two Pro Bowl berths. In 2019, Henderson was named No. 10 on the Jaguars All-25, a collection of the top 25 players in franchise history.

Tedeschi and Trucks perform the Anthem: The Star-Spangled Banner will be performed by Jacksonville musicians and Jaguars season ticket holders Susan Tedeschi and Derek Trucks of Tedeschi Trucks Band.

Trucks spent time playing with the Allman Brothers, and Tedeschi had a successful solo career. In 2010, the two combined their talents to form the Tedeschi Trucks Band, a blend of American soul, blues, rock, and country. Tedeschi Trucks Band Christened Daily’s Place in 2017, performing the first ever concert in the amphitheater. Tedeschi also leant her voice to the Jaguars when she performed the national anthem before the team’s AFC Wild Card playoff victory over the Buffalo Bills on Jan. 7, 2018.

The colors for the game will be presented by members of the Northeast Florida Joint Service Honor Guard.

Halftime entertainment

Halftime entertainment will be a performance by New York-based pop-rock band American Authors. The group was formed in 2006 at Berklee College of Music in Boston and released its debut album "Oh What a Life" in 2014. By 2018, American Authors had generated over one billion global streams.

Their instantly recognizable breakthrough “Best Day of My Life” earned a triple-platinum certification from the RIAA and vaulted to 11 on the Billboard Hot 100 in addition to being featured in over 600 movie trailers, TV shows, commercials, and as a theme song for the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

Game Day tips

Fans can also enjoy inflatable games, balloon artists, photo ops, prize giveaways and more.

Towel up: Up entry, the first 64,500 fans will receive white rally towels celebrating the AFC South division championship.

Clear Bag: The NFL’s clear bag policy is in effect at TIAA Bank Field. Fans are encouraged to leave all bags at home, but, if one is necessary, it should be either a clear bag no larger than 12” x 6” x 12” or a non-clear bag no larger than 4.5” x 6.5.”

Mobile Ticketing: Fans should have their mobile tickets downloaded and ready to scan prior to arriving at the entry gates.
