Pittsburgh Steelers v. Jacksonville Jaguars

I didn't see the whole game. I headed out to catch brunch with some friends and the game was being televised so I happened to catch part of the third quarter and most of the fourth quarter. There were a lot of Steelers fans watching the game. You could hear the disappointment as the Jaguars went up 22 to 7. Then you could hear the joy at the Steelers tied up the game. And then the anguish.

It was a bad day, but it was fun hanging out with so many Steelers fans. I was just going on down for brunch with some friends and ended up surrounded by a number of Steeler fans (none being my friends, just other people eating brunch.)

Of course, this isn't an outrageous loss. The problem with the Steelers is that they lost to teams they shouldn't have lost to and now they're stuck in a tie with Cleveland for first place in the AFC North. In all honesty, the Steelers got themselves into this position. Let's see if they have the will to get themselves out of this self caused mess over the next two games.
