FOXBOROUGH – Sometimes you wonder if media types hiss and diss a particular team just to boost ratings and attract listeners, and if deep down inside these folks actually believe what it is they are saying.
Anyone who thought this AFC Championship Game against the Jacksonville Jaguars was a layup win looks like a fool now. Blake Bortles no longer has to prove to people that he deserves to sit at the big table with the rest of the great NFL players. And yes, this game had Tom Coughlin’s fingerprints all over it, even though he was up in the luxury suites all game long as team president and not head coach.
