An eighteen point lead late in the third was evaporated primarily by Ward manhandling and talking smack to Nelson after each reception. Jacksonville had a meltdown and barely won the game.
They won't have a lead on New England. Roethlisberger had the luxery of inflating the meaningless QB rating against Cleveland and Cincinnati, two defensive powerhouses.

What about Gates? What about the fact that Tomlinson has been sulking on the bench like a baby the last half of the season?
