Huge win last night as far as least securing a bye week...

    Because with the Jags winning yesterday and going to 9-4 and having a fairly easy schedule to finish up had the Steelers lost last night and dropped to 10-3 they only would have been one game up on the Jags with the Pats coming in here this week. And since the Jags own the head to head tiebreaker over the Steelers winning that game last night and staying 2 games up on them last night as opposed to only one game was absolutely huge. The Jags now are the only team in the AFC that worst case scenario can prevent the Steelers from getting one of those two first round byes. Win the next 2 games and homefield and the road to the Super Bowl goes through Heinz Field.

    It was a massive win. Our number one priority should be getting healthy, especially the secondary, and the win helps us get closer to that.

    We REALLY need a healthy Haden to have even a remote chance against the Pats in the playoffs.

    On a GREAT note, Ben has been incredible the last two months and if he's at home, the entire league is on the lookout.
