The Jacksonville Jaguars head to Pittsburgh looking for a fifth straight victory. The Jaguars have ripped off four consecutive wins following a shaky start to surge to the top of the AFC North. Jacksonville coach Doug Pederson says his team is where he expected it to be but added the Jaguars still have plenty to work on. So do the Steelers.

“I think this is a very mature team that we have and I think we understand what’s at stake this week and every week moving forward,” quarterback Trevor Lawrence said. “Every game is critical, it’s crucial.” But not intimidating — at least not historically — for the Jaguars. Jacksonville has won five of its last six on the road against the Steelers,in the divisional round of the 2017 playoffs that seemed to signal the start of a potentially long run of success.
