Early action for this game is on the Patriots.

Jacksonville head to New England next week to take on Tom Brady and the Patriots for a spot in the Superbowl next month.
Twice Pittsburgh had fourth-and-1 in Jacksonville territory. But the Steelers targeted Bryant 39 times over the final six weeks as he finished the year with 50 catches, 603 yards and three touchdowns.
“But I’m looking at the personnel they have from (Jalen) Ramsey to Myles Jack to Calais Campbell and everyone in between, these boys are no joke make no mistake about it …” “It’s a long offseason, got a lot of work to do”. The decision was so freaky that most people watching the game were shocked that they were going to try it. A trip to Foxborough on the horizon, too.
Ramsey was among the best cornerbacks in the league this season, and helped the Jaguars’ defense finish at No. 2 in the league.
Several players said they watched Jacksonville’s 45-42 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday.
Pressed later about the lack of a quarterback sneak on either fourth-and-short play, Tomlin said, “They’re very good at stopping it”. “We knew we had to keep scoring”.
The target was one of the NFL’s most visible and highly anticipated games, with either the Steelers or the Jacksonville Jaguars advancing to next week’s AFC championship game in New England.
The New England Patriots beat the Tennessee Titans in convincing fashion Saturday night in the first AFC divisional round game. But if you can’t see in the future, then I don’t care because you’ve still got to see us as men. He said all that before a Week 13 game against the Bengals, which the Steelers almost lost, 23-20. “They’ve been to 7 straight AFC Championship games, if anyone knows how to approach this the Patriots do”. As of Monday morning, 63% of the betting tickets and 73% of the money were on New England to cover the large point spread.
“It’s pretty incredible to be a part of that”, Brady said.
“I know that, for sure”.
That such a talent-soaked squad did not win even one playoff game, let alone reach the NFL’s Final Four as a year ago, can not qualify as anything other than a major, burning disappointment for this organization.
That interview set the tone for the season. “Again, they do a lot of things well, play good defense, can rush the passer, can stop the run, turn the ball over, can run the ball, have a lot of explosive players in the passing game, they’re good in the kicking game, they’re very aggressive in the kicking game”. We had a great year this year.
“Because of the Steelers, their organization, their franchise”, Posluszny said. But he went down with a knee injury after the first week – and it appeared Minnesota’s dreams might be dashed. Who cares what you’re gonna say?

“I’m a competitor”, Tomlin said. “I have no words”. And yet they lost to the Patriots at home during the regular season and they lost against the Jaguars, which ended their shot at a rematch at Gillette Stadium.
