JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) -The asterisk the Jacksonville Jaguars had on their web site next to New England's perfect record, a mark indicating the Patriots were caught cheating in one game this season, has been removed. The Jaguars, who play at New England in the divisional round of the AFC playoffs Saturday night, decided to removed the asterisk Friday. Jaguars.com senior editor Vic Ketchman put the asterisk next to the Patriots in his weekly ``power rankings.'' Ketchman said he put it there in ``an attempt a |

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) -Prime-time game, national television, against the undefeated New England Patriots. It's no surprise the Jacksonville Jaguars, the sometimes brash, always confident team from one of the league's smallest markets, a group that plays the no-respect, us-against-the-world card every chance it gets, would welcome the challenge. They're not afraid to talk about it, either. ``We love it,'' defensive end Bobby McCray said Wednesday. ``This is what we've been waiting for all year. It's a per |

| (Best E Casino) - Ladies and gentleman, David Garrard is human after all. The Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback had one of the most efficient regular seasons in the NFL before he was faced with adversity during Saturday's 31-29 AFC Wild Card Playoff win over the Pittsburgh Steelers at Heinz Field. Garrard, in his first-ever playoff game, shook off a pair of interceptions to help the Jaguars become the first opponent to win twice in Pittsburgh in the same season. Garrard, who passed for 18 touchdowns with just thre |

| (Best E Casino) - Being a head coach in the NFL means always being second- guessed, but anyone blaming Mike Tomlin for the Steelers' 31-29 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars in Saturday's AFC Wild Card playoff is a fool. Down 28-23 in the fourth-quarter after Ben Roethlisberger had just thrown a touchdown pass to Heath Miller, the Steelers followed what the book said, and went for two. It appeared that Pittsburgh had made the conversion when Roethlisberger completed a pass to Hines Ward in the end zone, but the pla |

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) -Sixteen games. Sixteen wins. Sixteen chances for the New England Patriots to talk about how worried they are about their upcoming opponent. With the Jacksonville Jaguars heading to town for Saturday's second-round playoff game, the Patriots are spouting the same party line they've held to all year. And why not? It didn't hurt them during an undefeated regular season. ``They're a very good team,'' quarterback Tom Brady said. ``Teams that are in this position are the best teams in t |
