Terry Steinbach Jersey he'd surely rather be playing in the AFC Championship Game, Jackson is apparently excited to end his season on a high note after he and his teammates suffered a 28-12 lo s to the Titans that saw Jackson throw two interceptions.

Tony Phillips Jersey a great team with me. I'm not even really worried about what other people say. I'm just gonna keep going, get ready for next year."

Montana, Young, and Favre didn't start a playoff game until their third season. Brees and Aikman until their fourth season and Rodgers until his fifth season. Interesting. Everybody's different, right? But I'm really confident in Lamar and him understanding the things he needs to do to get better."
