Yours truly boldly predicted the Pittsburgh Steelers would hammer the Jacksonville Jaguars in their rematch this year. Yours truly couldn't have been more wrong. No excuses. I'll own it and eat crow -- as I should.
The Jags continue to impress. Can they beat the Patriots next week in Foxborough? I highly doubt it, but who knows?
The over/under on the Pitt/Jax game was 41 points with the Steelers a 7 point favorite. Doing a little math, that meant the wise guys in Vegas figured the Steelers to win 24-17. Instead, the two supposedly really good defenses got scorched to the tune of 87 total points in a 45-42 Jax win -- on the road. Who saw that coming?
Hard to say which team Brady/Belichick and crew would rather have faced. The Steelers had all but defeated them in an earlier match-up, until they let it slip away in the final moments of the game. But they know each other. As for Jax, the Pats have to completely reload and rethink.
Could get more interesting than many think.
But the Jags in the Super Bowl?
Get outta here.
That can't happen -- can it?
It would be like the Detroit Lions getting to one.
Did I mention "get outta here"?
