It turns out, even couldn't stop defense from dragging the to the divisional round of the postseason. On Sunday, the Jaguars overcame a horrific offensive performance by riding their defense to a 10-3 win over the , setting up a showdown with the next week.Yards, points, and competent offensive football were at a premium. Bortles bortled all game long. (57 yards on 21 carries) couldn't find any running room. On the other side of the ball, didn't fare much better. provided a gutty one-legged effort, but even he couldn't guide the Bills into the end zone.The first quarter ended with five first downs, and neither team made it past midfield. The quality of offensive play never improved. The two quarterbacks combined to average 3.7 yards per attempt. The 13 combined points were the lowest scoring total in a playoff game since the 1997 postseason. The 13 combined points between the Jaguars and Bills are the fewest in a postseason game since the Steelers beat the Patriots, 7-6, in the 1997 Divisional Playoffs. ESPN Stats & Info (@ESPNStatsInfo) Some will call it an old-school, defensive-minded game. Others will talk about the field position battle. In reality, it was an offensive, offensive performance. In other words, it went exactly how a Bills-Jaguars game was expected to go. Dylan Bundy Jersey The game's only touchdown came late in the third quarter. Deadlocked at 3-3, the Jaguars faced a fourth-and-goal from the 1-yard line. Instead of taking a free three-point advantage, which would've felt like an insurmountable lead with how poorly both offenses were playing, the Jaguars opted to go for the death blow. Instead of handing the ball to Fournette, the Jaguars decided to put the biggest play of the game in the hands of their consistently inconsistent quarterback. It worked. On that fourth down, Bortles stumbled after taking the snap from under center. He recovered in time to execute a half-hearted play-fake. And then he threaded a perfectly placed pa s to , who barely hung onto the ball as he fell out of the end zone. The Jaguars took a 10-3 lead. On 4th-and-goal... finds for the 1-yard TD! NFL (@NFL) It really did feel like the Jaguars pulled off the impo sible by scoring a touchdown, which is why nobody should mock the celebration that ensued by the Jaguars' heads of state: This would be 1000x better if it was Tom Coughlin CJ Fogler (@cjzero) It was all their defense would need. All game long, whenever they needed a play, the Jaguars' defense came up with one. In the first half, despite a special teams blunder on fourth down that gave the Bills a first-and-goal, they held the Bills to a field goal. In the second half, they repeatedly stopped the Bills by hara sing Taylor, constantly forcing him to give up on Rod Carew Jersey broken down plays. Every game-tying drive attempt was squashed. The Jaguars' defense was so dominant, it made a seven-point lead feel like a double-digit advantage.The Jaguars held the Bills to 3.6 yards per play. They only sacked Taylor twice, but their low sack total doesn't do their performance justice. They generated the game's only two turnovers, sealing the game with an incredible interception of by . . CALLED GAME. NFL (@NFL) The Jaguars' offensive performance won't inspire much confidence. It won't make pundits take this Jaguars team seriously as a Super Bowl contender, but if there's one thing that travels in the NFL, it's defense. And the Jaguars certainly have one, as Sunday's win proved once again. It's a defense that tormented the Steelers once already this season, when they picked off five times en route to a 30-9 win. And it's a defense that should scare the hell out of every remaining team in the postseason -- yes, including the . If there's one way to beat the Patriots in the postseason, it's by hitting over and over again. And the Jaguars can do exactly that, as Sunday's game reinforced once again. This Jaguars team might not be fun. But they're scary.Read on for six takeaways. 1. Bortles the runner After watching Bortles try his best to bortle away the Jaguars' first playoff game in a decade, the Jaguars turned to an Matt Harvey Jersey unlikely source to extend their dream season: Blake Bortles' legs. Against the Bills, Bortles was more effective as a runner than a pa ser. Bortles actually finished with more rushing yards (88) than pa sing yards (87). He averaged 8.8 yards per run compared to 3.8 yards per pa s. Blake Bortles currently has 87 Pa s yards on 23 attempts. The last QB to win a playoff game with fewer than 100 pa s yards on 20+ attempts was Steve McNair in the 1999 AFC Wild Card Game against the Bills. That was the Bills' last playoff game. ESPN Stats & Info (@ESPNStatsInfo) Midway through the second quarter, Bortles seemed to realize for himself that he couldn't beat the Bills with his arm. So, he took off running instead. Trailing 3-0 late in the second quarter, Bortles drove the Jaguars into field goal range with a pair of scrambles. BLAKE BORTLES.The in FG range! : NFL (@NFL) And he kept on running in the second half. At one point, the Jaguars even called for a zone-read. Late in the fourth quarter, as the Jaguars tried to drain as much time off the clock before inevitably being forced to punt the ball back to the Bills, Bortles dropped a shotgun snap. Instead of panicking, he calmly scooped up the ball and ran for a rare first down. He scared the heck out of a cameraman: This cameraman's life flashed before his eyes Richard Lee-Sam (@RLeesam) So, let's state the obvious: This isn't Ian Kinsler Jersey a sustainable way to win football games. If the Jaguars face a deficit next week against the Steelers, Bortles is not going to be able to lead a comeback by running all over the field. At some point, if these Jaguars are going to shock the powerhouses in the AFC, they'll need Bortles to throw the ball effectively, like he did at the beginning of December. Based on the way he played down the stretch and again on Sunday, that appears to be unlikely. As a pa ser, Bortles finished 12 of 23 for 87 yards, one touchdown, no picks, and a 75.8 pa ser rating.2. Jaguars waste a rare Tyrod turnoverOn that note, one series in particular sticks out. In the second quarter, with the score still knotted at zero, the Jaguars' defense came up with a rare and incredible interception of Taylor when forced a deflection and 's catch somehow survived the ground. The defense!What a pick by ! NFL (@ Jonathan Lucroy Jersey NFL) All the Jaguars' offense needed to do was gain a few yards and let kick a field goal. Instead, the Jaguars lost three yards and were forced to punt. Those kind of series can't happen against a team like the Steelers, who will punish them for it. 3. Bills waste an extra life Immediately after the Jaguars' three-and-out, the Bills went to work, embarking upon an 18-play, 71-yard drive that ate up over eight minutes of game clock and ended with a field goal. They should've gotten more. On third-and-2 fr
