who do the pittsburgh steelers play in the first playoff game
Pittsburgh Steelers The Steelers made the playoffs for the first time in 1947, tying for first place in the division at 8–4 with the Philadelphia Eagles. This forced a tie-breaking playoff game at Forbes Field, which the Steelers lost 21–0.[12] That would be Pittsburgh's only playoff game for the next 25 years; they did qualify for a "Playoff Bowl" in 1962 as the second-best team in their conference, but this was not considered an official playoff.[13]
Jacksonville Jaguars After their week 15 win over the Houston Texans, the Jaguars clinched their first playoff trip since 2007; they finished the season 10-6, a seven-game turnaround from the previous year. The Jaguars defeated the Buffalo Bills 10-3 in Jacksonville, marking the first playoff win in ten years.[76] In the Divisional Round, on January 14, 2018, the Jaguars defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers 45-42 in Pittsburgh[77] to advance to their 3rd AFC Championship Game, and their first since 1999. However, they narrowly fell to the New England Patriots 24-20.[78] For the season, the defense earned the nickname "Sacksonville" because of its dominance.
