2.  Another way the Trading Places theme was recalled today was in the running game.  For years, the Steelers were known as the ultimate run the ball/stop the run team.  Meanwhile, since MJD retired, the Jaguars could not consistently run the ball, and up until today, the Jaguars could not stop the run at all.  Not today.  Great showing by the Jaguars run offense today, rushing for 230 yards in Pittsburgh.  Closing the game with what...19 straight rushing plays in a row...not passing since about the 8 minute mark of the 3rd quarter?!?  I don't think I've seen anything like that in the NFL, and I started watching before the 1978 rules changed that opened up the passing game.  I've only seen things like that in the college wishbone era.  I think it is fitting that FT and Fournette both had their biggest rushing games to date in Pukesburgh!  Meanwhile, Bell did not kill us in the running game.
