The Jacksonville Jaguars could end up beating the Pittsburgh Steelers this weekend. They did beat the Steelers during the regular season.
You called it.
Jacksonville started out with 3 or 4 play action passes in a row, which was a great strategy to get Pittsburgh not to take Jacksonville's passing game for granted, which took a lot of pressure off their running game. Bortles first pass looked like a dying quail, and I thought he was going to have a bad game, but he settled down. Switching sides after the first quarter, Roethlisberger also had trouble with the wind, so it wasn't all Bortles.
A lot of Steelers were looking past Jacksonville to New England, which made for great Jacksonville locker room fodder before the game. If you had said Roethlisberger would throw for 469 yards and 5 touchdowns, Pittsburgh would score 42 and lose, most people would have thought you were crazy.
