Senior writer John Oehser’s 10 things the Jaguars must do to beat the New England Patriots in the AFC Championship Game at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, Massachusetts, Sunday

I saw pressure Brady at #1 and #10. He forgot to mention that the Jags will need to pressure Brady rushing only 4. Blitzing could cause this game to get out of hand quickly. 

Protect Bortles is even a bigger must. Will he panic and play timidly like he did against the Bills? Will he be large and in charge like he was against the Steelers?

Nowhere is blitz mentioned. This team relies on pressure from the front four. Rarely do the Jags need to blitz to get pressure. 

On the Bortles front, timid is not in the vocabulary to describe him. I keep seeing pats fans mention Buffalo as this mysterious game of errors. Reality is, the offensive game plan was not to be aggressive and keep opportunistic mistakes from being an issue. Jags typically do what is required to win without being flashy. Aside from a few statement games, that has held true. If the Jags get up early in this game, I would expect aggressiveness to ramp up on both sides of the ball, for statement purposes of course. Anyway, I think this #6 ranked offense gets overlooked with the typical Bortles bashing.
