Dec. 18 (UPI) -- The Jacksonville Jaguars used their official Twitter account to reference things that were happening the last time the team made the playoffs.

Jacksonville clinched a spot in the postseason this week after defeating the Houston Texans 45-7. The Jaguars clinched a wildcard AFC playoff berth with the win and can win the AFC South in Week 16 against the San Francisco 49ers.

The Jaguars haven't played in a playoff game since the 2007 season. That year, Jacksonville lost to the New England Patriots in the divisional round. The Patriots were 18-0 that season before running into the New York Giants and losing Super Bowl XLII.

Jacksonville referenced several trends from that time with a series of tweets.

"Netflix still used envelopes," the Jaguars tweeted.

"Crank That by Soulja Boy was sweeping across the country," the Jaguars tweeted.

The Jaguars also posted images of the first version of the iPhone, Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End and Miley Cyrus as Hannah Montana. Jacksonville also went to the playoffs when Taylor Swift was still singing country, Kansas went to the Orange Bowl and Blake Bortles was still in high school.
