This wasn’t how Week 11 of the NFL was supposed to go. Both Jacksonville and Pittsburgh were supposed to be leading their divisions, fighting for home-field advantage heading toward the playoffs. The Steelers have held up their end of the bargain. The Jaguars are still trying to find their way, sitting at the bottom of the AFC South.
To say the air has been let out of this balloon of a game is an understatement. Jacksonville needs this win to salvage some pride and keep whatever little playoff hope that it is alive. The Steelers need this win to continue momentum heading toward the postseason.
