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. After jumping out to a 21-0 lead early in the second quarter thanks to three rushing touchdowns, Jacksonville did enough to hold off a five-score, 469-yard game from Ben Roethlisb...

Leonard Fournette Leaves Jaguars-Steelers Game With Ankle Injury [UPDATE: He's Back]
Leonard Fournette left today’s AFC Divisional playoff with an apparent ankle injury in the second quarter, with Jacksonville leading Pittsburgh, 21-7. He limped off the field and made his way to the locker room shortly thereafter:...
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 ...
Jaguars Junction: It's Called The Playoffs
Well, well, well. Well, well, well. Looks like the whole damn world has “cat scratch fever” now (NFL). But where were ya—back in the day?????...
Jaguars' Yannick Ngakoue Accuses Richie Incognito Of Using "Racist Slurs"<em></em>
Jaguars defensive end Yannick Ngakoue accused Bills guard Richie Incognito of using racial slurs during Sunday’s 10-3 Jacksonville win:...
Bills, NFL Fans Lose Battle Of Offensive Incompetence
In an electric atmosphere featuring two fanbases desperate for success, Bills-Jaguars was perhaps the most interesting playoff match-up of Wild Card weekend. Then, not long into the game, we all realized what we were in for: a freaking playoff game between the Bills and the Jaguars. The Jags won 10-...
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...
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...
Blake Bortles, Who Is Always Trash, Cannot Be Called Trash Today<em></em>
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 ...
Doug Marrone's Ideal Meal Is A Bologna Sandwich By Himself
Now that the Giants have fired Ben McAdoo, someone else has to be the spiritual successor to Jim Tomsula, a former doormat salesman whose figurative and literal hunger earned him exactly one season leading the 49ers, but oh, what a season it was. Jaguars coach Doug Marrone already seems like a viabl...
Jaguars Junction: Week 13
Well, another week has passed, and with it, another Jacksonville Jaguars victory game. (Higher score.) ...
Leonard Fournette And Jaguars Celebrate Touchdown With Free Throw
Here’s this week’s NFL celebration that makes little sense: After Leonard Fournette’s five-yard touchdown run today, some of the Jacksonville Jaguars lined up for a free throw....
Blaine Gabbert Had His Revenge On Jacksonville
A botched pass play by the Jacksonville Jaguars gave Blaine Gabbert the opportunity to defeat his former team, as a Blake Bortles incompletion with 37 seconds left in a 24-24 game gave the former Jaguars/current Cardinals QB just enough time to get his team into field goal range, when Jacksonville o...
Jaguars Junction: Week 10
This week’s thorough dismantling of the hapless “Cleveland Browns” football group brings to mind an old joke famous in Jacksonville circles: ...
Jaguars Junction: Week Nine
The last time we checked in on the Jacksonville Jaguars, football, they possessed a record of three wins and two losses. And now? ...
