Jaguars
began their season with a hard-fought game against the Steelers on a hot,
humid afternoon at Ford Field. Although they lost the game 6-14,
they showed some fine defensive and offensive performances and learned
much that would help them throughout the season.
(. . . and many said as they left, "I can hardly wait 'til
our NEXT game!")
