Jalen Ramsey Was Born For This
Maybe this is stupid, but my first thought after the Jaguars beat the Steelers to advance to the AFC Championship game was, “I can’t wait to see what Jalen Ramsey has to say about this.”...
The Steelers Surrendered The One Weapon They Needed Most
It’s always nice when a shocking playoff loss comes with a handful of moments that can be picked out as the definitive causes of the collapse. Following their 45-42 loss to the Jaguars, the Steelers are left with these: two failed fourth-down conversions, a botched onside kick, and Mike Tomlin’s poo...
Goddamn, The Jacksonville Jaguars Are Going To The AFC Championship
Thanks to a 45-42 victory over the Steelers today, the Jaguars will face the Patriots in the AFC Championship next week.

How Old Is Edwin Jackson?
Driving to every major league ballpark that Edwin Jackson has called home, one by one, in order, would require driving for more than 16,000 miles to reach 11 stadiums.

Bills GM Says Richie Incognito's Alleged Racist Slurs Were "A Misunderstanding"
Bills offensive guard Richie Incognito was accused by Jaguars defensive end Yannick Ngakoue of using racist slurs during Jacksonville’s playoff defeat of Buffalo on Sunday. But Bills GM Brandon Beane didn’t seem to think much of any potential in-game exchange between the two....
Jags Fans Can Willfully Disregard Fire Safety, Too<em></em>
Bills fans celebrated their team’s (short-lived) playoff run by traveling to Jacksonville in droves, laying waste to any table-like structure in their path, reportedly starting a garbage fire, drinking local bars dry, and generally behaving as expected. Jaguars fans also got to toast to their first ...

In an electric atmosphere featuring two fanbases desperate for success, Bills-Jaguars was perhaps the most interesting playoff match-up of Wild Card weekend.

Blake Bortles Is Indifferent To The Haters, Of Which There Are Many
Here is an endlessly strange sentence: Blake Bortles will lead the Jaguars in a home playoff game this weekend against the Buffalo Bills. The Jags won the AFC South, looking at times like a legit Super Bowl threat, largely thanks to an all-time defense, a powerful rookie running back, and Bortles’s ...
Jaguars Barely Defeat Tarps
Blake Bortles and the Jacksonville Jaguars are going to play a real, actual NFL playoff game the first weekend in January. (Still a weird fact to write.) Although the team’s stadium has a capacity of about 84,000 for college football games, the Jags usually limit their games to 67,000, with parts of...
Report: Car Registered To DeSean Jackson Found Wrecked, Abandoned On Christmas Eve

All Of A Sudden, Blake Bortles Is Good Enough
Even as the Jaguars started winning this season, there remained a comfort in being able to continue to clown on Blake Bortles for being Blake Bortles. But not lately. The Jags are in the playoffs for the first time since the Fred Taylor era, and they mathematically still have a chance to earn home-f...

The Jacksonville Jaguars thumped the Houston Texans 45-7 Sunday, as QB Blake Bortles threw for 326 yards and three touchdowns with no turnovers. After the game, Texans linebacker Jadeveon Clowney admitted that the Jags soundly beat his team, but wouldn’t give Bortles any credit....
The Jaguars Are A Joy To Watch
Faced with one of their toughest opponents of the year, a Jacksonville Jaguars team with a brand-new identity proved that they’re not only the NFL’s best defensive team, but also one of its most fun. Their 30-24 win over Seattle today was highlighted by big plays and mostly lopsided excitement....
Quinton Jefferson Restrained From Fighting Bad Jags Fan
Seahawks tempers were running hot when their loss to the Jaguars was all but over, and a dust-up with the Jags in victory formation led to an unsportsmanlike conduct ejection for Seattle’s Quinton Jefferson. As Jefferson left the field, however, the situation deteriorated further, and some idiot in ...
