Maurice Jones-Drew Receiving Death Threats Over Tweet on Bears QB Jay Cutler | Firstcoastnews.com
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Pro Bowl running back Maurice Jones-Drew says he never meant to take a shot at Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler or question his toughness.
The Jacksonville standout tells The Associated Press his Tweet comparing Cutler to former Florida coach Urban Meyer was merely a joke – one that clearly backfired.
Jacksonville Municipal Stadium (Jaguars) Soon To Be Called ‘EverBank Stadium’
Hmmm.. I’m not really a fan of naming stadiums after corporations, but I suppose it’s a necessity these days, although it has been three years since the stadium had a commercial name, when it was Alltell Stadium. I’m still somewhat in the habit of calling it Alltell actually.

Born and raised in Jacksonville, Bob Hayes was a star athlete for Florida A&M University (FAMU) in Tallahassee and an Olympic Gold Medal sprinter before his NFL career. Hayes was once known as The World’s Fastest Human thanks to his world records in the 60-yard, 100-yard, 220-yard, and Olympic 100-meter dashes. Bob Hayes is the only man to win both an Olympic gold and a Super Bowl ring.

Jaguars Defeat The Pittsburgh Steelers, Still In The Playoff Race
The Jacksonville Jaguars defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers 31-29 tonight in the AFC Wildcard game to keep hopes alive for a Superbowl win from the Jaguars this year. This was a very exciting game, more exciting than I’d hoped, actually. I wanted the Jags to break out into a big lead and hold it, but no, they had to let the Steelers keep a close score.
| Scoring Summary | |||||
| FIRST QUARTER | JAC | PIT | |||
| Steelers | TD | 10:03 | Najeh Davenport 1 Yd Run (Jeff Reed Kick) | 0 | 7 |
| Jaguars | TD | 09:39 | Fred Taylor 1 Yd Run (Josh Scobee Kick) | 7 | 7 |
| SECOND QUARTER | JAC | PIT | |||
| Jaguars | TD | 10:19 | Rashean Mathis 63 Yd Interception Return (Josh Scobee Kick) | 14 | 7 |
| Jaguars | TD | 08:34 | Maurice Jones-Drew 43 Yd Pass From David Garrard (Josh Scobee Kick) | 21 | 7 |
| THIRD QUARTER | JAC | PIT | |||
| Steelers | FG | 09:24 | Jeff Reed 28 Yd | 21 | 10 |
| Jaguars | TD | 04:39 | Maurice Jones-Drew 10 Yd Run (Josh Scobee Kick) | 28 | 10 |
| FOURTH QUARTER | JAC | PIT | |||
| Steelers | TD | 14:53 | Santonio Holmes 37 Yd Pass From Ben Roethlisberger (Jeff Reed Kick) | 28 | 17 |
| Steelers | TD | 10:25 | Heath Miller 14 Yd Pass From Ben Roethlisberger (Two-Point Run Conversion Failed) | 28 | 23 |
| Steelers | TD | 06:21 | Najeh Davenport 1 Yd Run (Two-Point Pass Conversion Failed) | 28 | 29 |

Jacksonville Jaguars Win 28-13 Over Tennessee Titans
Also, Fred Taylor broke the 10,000 yard rushing barrier for his career. He is only the 21st player in NFL history to rush for 10,000 yards.
After the Titans beat the Jaguars in the season opener, we can kinda consider this to be payback. We gave up only 10 yards rushing to the Titans, and sacked their star quarterback Vince Young a total of 4 times in the game. Vince Young also threw two interceptions.
The Jaguars needed to win this game, and hopefully they’ll go on to make it in the playoffs, and then win a Superbowl. Jacksonville has hosted a Superbowl before, but I’d like for the Jaguars to actually play in the Superbowl and win.
