The Jacksonville Jaguars had to claw their way back to victory over the Steelers after blowing a big lead in the first round of the NFL playoffs at Pittsburgh Saturday.

The Jaguars took an 18-point lead in the 4th quarter, but the Steelers came back, scoring three touchdowns to take a 29-28 lead, with about six minutes remaining in the game.

On the last possession, quarterback David Garrard was able to lead the Jags far enough down field for kicker Josh Scobee to make a 25-yard field goal, with 37 seconds remaining, giving Jacksonville a 31-29 win over Pittsburgh.

The Jaguars' opponent next weekend was dependent on the outcome of Sunday's game between the Tennessee Titans and the San Diego Chargers.

The Chargers' victory sends the Jaguars to face the undefeated New England Patriots Saturday night.  

Meanwhile, the Indianapolis Colts will play at home against the Chargers Sunday.
