It's halftime of the Week 5 matchup between the Jacksonville Jaguars and Pittsburgh Steelers. The Jaguars may be down 10-6, but they'll get the ball to start the second half and in a four-point game anything could happen.
The Jaguars are keeping it competitive, with bend-but-don't-break defense and an offense that's controlling the clock with long, sustained drives. Only one three-and-out all game for the Jaguars.
The second half is almost here. How do you think the Jaguars are going to close out this game?

3:55 PM: I dare you to say this was the defense's fault.
The #Jaguars defense allowed 10 points today. This loss is not on them.

3:29 PM: Here's the pick-six from Bortles. Slow to get there and off-target.
Here’s the pass. Late and off-target. Rookie mistake… and we’re only down 17-9 in the fourth quarter. So, meh. http://t.co/MLDPKwYJdW

3:23 PM: Bortles made an awful pass. Horrible. McCain was sitting on the route and pounced.
Blake Bortles throws wide and it's an easy pick-6 for Brice McCain. Bad throw. 17-9 #Steelers

3:20 PM: Steelers are driving towards the end zone and Abry Jones makes the strip-sack! Jaguars ball!
OH HAAAAAIIIILLLLLLL YES! Abry Jones with the strip-sack, Andre Branch with the recovery!

2:53 PM: You don't say...
Paul Posluszny is perpetually out of position for the #Jaguars. I know he's a higher paid guy, but he's hurting the defense.

2:19 PM: The least Roethlisberger could do is throw it to Heath Miller and get me some fantasy points. Steelers up 10-3.

2:01 PM: Posluszny is so hot-and-cold. He overruns gaps on running plays, but makes sacks on third downs and somehow bats down a pass to Antonio Brown. What is happening?
Oh my God that was Paul Posluszny in pass coverage. My heart.
— BCCGameday Tweets (@BCCGameday) October 5, 2014
Posluszny with a big sack, now a big pass breakup. the veteran is having a good day! Still tied at 3. #PITvsJAX
