I'm sure the Jags are taking them seriously enough to make sure they're not handing the Browns anything other than loss #10.

This can not be said enough. Great teams hate losing more than they like winning. No one wants to be the team that loses to the Browns and so the Jags are going to play extremely hard to not be that team.

While I am concerned about this being a potential trap game, I think that there are enough players on this team who have been here through the period of sucking we've endured to assure that they're not looking past this one.  As a fan, my concern is that the team will start to buy into the hype, but I don't think that's going to happen when you look at the leadership this roster has currently.  I think they're going to find a way to completely own the Browns.  They will get more motivation from the game happening tonight in Pittsburgh.  They're either playing to keep pace, or they're playing for sole possession of first place this weekend.  Either way, plenty to be motivated about for the Jags to avoid the trap.
