Steelers First Meeting with Jaguars Defined by Missed Opportunities

Thirteen weeks ago, the 3-1 Steelers met the 2-2 Jaguars at Heinz Field. Jacksonville was coming off an overtime loss to the lowly Jets and many expected the Steelers to roll over them. The game did not follow script, which led to a plethora of fire-and-brimstone articles about the Steelers continuing to play down against bad opponents after they lost 2 of 3 to the Bears and Jaguars. Much like we have seen the last two years, the tale of a team at the end of the season does not always match up with their pre-season (or even early-season) narrative.
