For only the 3rd time in 73 yrs the Steelers failed to gain a rushing 1st down, this was the lowest scoring game in MNF history.
Jags D blankets Big Ben: 153 net yds, 9 1st downs, 26 rush yds, ZERO POINTS. Jags O: 362 net yds, TOP 37-22.
Out the gate, @ home Jags have taken down our 2 preseason Super Bowl favorites, most impressive. Lets see how the road treats them @ IND next, not only will Jags make the playoffs, they could take the division and more.
