This. A whole bunch of this. Aside from the first quarter of the buffalo gane, and a very small of throws the rest of the way, Bortles was locked in, I think he grew up the last two games. He's still gonna have his blake moments, but in my opinion, don't be surprised if he's the unquestioned starter next year.
And I think you saw a group of young players, including blake, take this game really hard. They're gonna use this game, the pain and anger, to get better this offseason and training camp, and hopefully work on the more mental aspects of the game (they played with so much passion this year but imagine if they also played with the same mjndset the pats do, no more standing over guys, they earned that respect they screamed about all year, and teams also know they're tough guys i.e. the seahawks when they where young, or the ravens with a prime ray and reed) we saw this group show the swagger(I hate that term lol), the skill, the heart it takes to get to the top. I think a team like this, where almost everyone is young and genreally the same age, needs to learn how to be elite, and now they know.

TL;DR
These young elite players punched goliath in the mouth, and goliath didn't budge. They take this year and learn from the mistakes, and play with that killer mindset the elites played with. And instead of leaving their hearts and souls on the field each week in the hopes of imprinting their names in the whole leagues minds, and "needing" the respect from their peers and from the fans, they play with the single, solitary goal, of winning this game and one more next year.
