In two games a year ago (both games in Pittsburgh), Jacksonville put up 75 points on the Steelers and forced Roethlisberger to turn the ball over seven times, thoroughly embarrassing the home team.
It's rare to see both wild-card spots filled by teams in the same division, but it happened past year when three NFC South teams went to the playoffs.
The Tennessee Titans open at the Miami Dolphins - it will be their first game under coach Mike Vrabel - and their home opener is September 16 against the Houston Texans.

This will be the first regular season worldwide game for the Eagles in franchise history, but not their first time in England. Hopefully for the internal organs of fans on both sides, this one doesn't come down to a Hail Mary on the final play.
- Ten teams will play the maximum number of five games in prime time: Dallas, Green Bay, Kansas City, New England, Philadelphia, New Orleans, Pittsburgh, San Francisco, Seattle and the Los Angeles Rams. The Minnesota Vikings will hope to fare better with marquee free agent signing Kirk Cousins at quarterback than they did in January's 38-7 humbling at the hands of the Eagles. They're getting 1½ points from the Los Angeles Rams in the second game of a "Monday Night Football" doubleheader.

First Android Smartphone With 3D Sensing Technology
It's expected that the smartphone will launch in the first half of the year along with a 3D sensing technology on it. The report of the firmware also suggests a battery of 3080mh and the phone will have Android Oreo operating system.
Fox, which will do 11 Thursday night games, begins its package in Week 4 with the Vikings at the Rams. But the Jags do enough late in the contest, rolling with their ground-and-pound approach, to wear down an Eagles team that hasn't been to London before.
Yes, the Patriots once again have their built-in six-game break by playing in the weak AFC East, which will be weaker with the Bills joining the Jets and Dolphins in rebuilding mode. NFL Network has seven exclusive broadcasts.
Philadelphia also has a Thursday night game October 11 at the New York Giants at 8:20 p.m. and two Sunday night games: November 11 at home with Dallas and December 16 at the Rams.
Yet another game that could be an NFC title game preview, this one is a bit different coming so early in the season with the Vikings heading west for a huge matchup between two of the biggest names in the offseason.
"Flexible scheduling" will be used in weeks 11-17. Start times for Saturday games for Week 15 and 16 will be announced no later than after Week 8, with the contests not chosen for Saturday to be played on Sunday on the 16th weekend. That will be chosen after Week 16 games conclude.
According to Sports Business Daily's John Ourand, Fox offered to move some of these better matchups from its 4:25 p.m. Sunday slot to give the Thursday night slate - a subject of much derision in recent years - a boost.
