The weather in Jacksonville made it a perfect day for some football. Former AFC Central foes, the Jaguars and the Steelers, faced off in a tight defensive battle. This marked the Jaguars' second home game of the season, but first regular season start at EverBank Field for Blake Bortles. The matchup also served as the Breast Cancer Awareness game for the Jaguars.

Player POV

The players always love playing in front of the home crowd.

Roy Miller was ready to go for a home gameday.
