Which AFC team has best chance of knocking Patriots out of a SB berth?
Probably not anyone, but I'd like to see Jacksonville's defense take them on.
They got lucky the Steelers didn't win in that match up, so no reason to think the Steelers can't beat them.
That Jags D is for real, and you know what they say about great defenses - they win Championships.
Here's a cool vid from NFL Network: Patriots or Vikings, Who Has The Edge? B)
Well, if Rapelisberger can keep his head from proximity of his ass...
Jaguars or Steelers...
I don't think any of the other AFC playoff teams can compete with them. Tennessee? LOL... Chiefs? I guess they beat them during their hot streak earlier this season, but I can't see them doing it again. Baltimore? Only if Joe Flacco can invent a time machine and bring the 2013 version of himself back... A guy on a Buffalooooo? Hell no... The Chargers? No way.
These Patriots as a team seem more beatable this year, however I don’t believe they’ll get out coached, right Mr Tomlin...? ;)
The Steelers are still by far the biggest threat. The Jags are the only other possibility, with the defense slowing Brady down and a healthy Fournette running the clock as well as the ball.
Everyone else... Titans? No offense, but they have no offense. Chefs? Not in Foxboro in January they're not.
Bills/Ravens/Fins... make these 3 play in the NFC and they'd all be under .500.
Chargers.. they have some pieces, but not enough to be consistent.
Their defense is beatable. The problem is stopping the various options on offense. I like the Jags the best to do it and then the Steelers.
The Jags defense is incredible but something about Bortles in the playoffs just doesn't evoke much hope for me. I really think the Steelers are the only one with a shot.
Ravens (If they make it). The Steelers can't beat the Patriots especially in NE. They don't match up very well from a defensive scheme stand point plus it always feels like they are playing the Patriots with an inferiority complex so they always over prepare and overhype themselves and the results are usually the same - a loss.
I don't see a Tomlim coached Steelers team knocking off the Pats.
