It's a friendlier rivalry.
But yeah the jags have both our numbers it seems.
13-11 Stools
12-9 Us
How do Superbowls keep us from winning a playoff game? We're not playing the Steelers and Ravens in the playoffs every time.
Sure, having a dominant team in your division can hurt, but again, the Colts owned that division just as thoroughly as the Steelers own ours. More so, actually. Not sure what big hits have to do with anything. Big hits aren't keeping us from making the playoffs and they aren't why we're 0-7.
Tbh, we've only had a small handful of relevant injuries to star players in these rivalry games over the last 23 years. Probably not much more than any other division.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
