The Jacksonville Jaguars, led by quarterback Trevor Lawrence, meet the Pittsburgh Steelers, led by quarterback Kenny Pickett, in a regular season game on Sunday, Oct. 29, 2023 (10/29/23) at Acrisure Stadium in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
ek 8 vs. Jacksonville JaguarsPittsburgh Steelers quarterback Kenny Pickett celebrates with wide receiver George Pickens of an NFL football game against the Los Angeles Rams, Sunday, Oct. 22, 2023, in Inglewood, Calif. Nearing the midway point of his second year with the Jaguars, the moribund franchise Pederson took over is showing the hallmarks of being a legitimate contender.
Maybe, but it helps to learn and win at the same time. The Jaguars have steadied themselves following a 1-2 start and are favored in Pittsburgh for the first time since 1999, a nod of respect by oddsmakers to a team that averaged 12 1/2 losses a season in the four years before Pederson arrived. “Pittsburgh, their whole organization has like an aura around it and that’s really cool there,” Lawrence said.
In that way, the Jaguars and Steelers are near mirror images of each other. Pittsburgh has found a way to hang around in the tight AFC North by winning tight game after tight game. All of the Steelers’ four victories have been by seven points or less, while their two losses have been blowouts in which they’ve been outscored 60-13.
Pittsburgh will need to muster it at some point. Until then, they’re fine finding a way to hang around while waiting for the opponent to blink first.Jaguars receiver Calvin Ridley, the team’s biggest offseason addition, is coming off one of his worst games as a pro. He caught one pass for 5 yards in a 31-24 victory at New Orleans last week. It was the latest lull in an up-and-down start for the former Atlanta standout.
“We’re competitors, you know,” Harris said. “Like the game is tight. You want to make plays and you might have a little bit of chit chat. We’ve just got to find a balance where to knowing when there’s too much and when to stop.”Jacksonville leads the NFL with 16 takeaways, including 11 during the team’s four-game winning streak. The Jaguars have two interceptions returned for touchdowns in the stretch, and Pederson says he “hopes it’s sustainable.”Steelers linebacker T.J.
