Jacksonville Jaguars: 3 Bold predictions for Divisional Round vs. Steelers
By Derek Snyder
1. Jaguars dream-season will end in Pittsburgh
There’s no doubt about it; Jacksonville has accomplished so many goals this season, which no one can take away from them. This has historically been a team in the bottom-half of the league, always missing out on the postseason. However, thanks to Jags head coach, Doug Marrone, this squad has become one of the most-dangerous teams in the entire NFL.
Heck, there’s only eight teams still playing this year, and the Jags are one of them. People need to respect this team and how much better they can be moving forward. In terms on this weekend against the Steelers, I don’t foresee the Jaguars keeping their dream-season alive. Pittsburgh has far too many weapons who’ve played in the Divisional Round, which in the past, has proved to be important.
I believe Jacksonville will give the Steelers all kinds of problems on Sunday afternoon, but at the end of the day, Le’Veon Bell may be too much for this talented Jags defense to contain.

Again, for any Jacksonville football fan reading this, please don’t see this season as a failure if they do indeed lose this weekend. They’ve achieved so many things in 2017 that no one thought was possible, and not to mention, this young team is just getting started.
