90’s teams KC, Miami, Pittsburgh, Denver, Cleveland, Raiders & Houston were routinely in the playoffs, as were we. We lost to Cleveland, played Pittsburgh, KC and Miami twice -once at their place in a Conference Title game. Yes, it appears the AFC seems strong currently, but there’s a reason Seattle let their aging QB walk & Baltimore, Miami, Chargers, Denver & Raiders didn’t make the playoffs last season. We did, Tennessee did and KC did. (I’m not a believer in Cincy yet). Until things change, it’s who really is good, not about ‘could be’s’.
Pittsburgh beat us and was still in the playoffs. It’s little solace, but we weren’t the only team to lose to Jacksonville..
