I'm confused, how does the NFL actually benefit from choosing one team that 31 teams hate to have win? Are you saying one fan base generates the majority of the NFL revenue?
Even before the game one of the headlines is this officiating squad has a tendency to swallow their whistles outside of blatant calls, with the patriots 2-5 in games officiated by it.
There were missed calls both ways, including one where Romo went to start highlighting how great the coverage on gronkowski was then started mumbling when you saw the defender was pinning his arms down.
Either way, the jags have a solid defense, and either bottles gets a bit more of a natural feel for positioning throws (he was back shoulder all day) or you guys get a good QB and the final cog fits and the jags run the NFL

The notes sole purpose is to explain that conventional tackles are not excluded against defenseless receivers. Hitting the defender conventionally is fine so long as you didn’t interfere with the catch—which he didn’t.

Scrolld down a bit further and read:
Prohibited contact against a player who is in a defenseless posture is:

1. forcibly hitting the defenselessplayer’s head or neck area with the helmet, facemask, forearm, or shoulder, even if the initial contact is lower than the player’s neck, and regardless of whether the defensive player also uses his arms to tackle the defenselessplayer by encircling or grasping him
