The Jags really controlled the game early, but they made some mistakes (Garrard forced some bad throws), and they let Pittsburgh and their fans get back in the game and take the lead. Luckily for them, their defense had a nice stop and Garrard redeemed himself by having a big run and managing the end of the game very effectively.
Tomlin probably wishes he had just taken the extra points on those two touchdowns. The rule on that is generally to just take the points unless you absolutely have to go for the 2 pt. conversion. Probably was a rookie coaching mistake in retrospect, but he still had a very good season of coaching.
Jags will have to play much better if they want any shot of beating the Pats though. They looked sloppy at times. |
