With AFC title game rematch on tap, Jaguars relive The Play
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Myles Jack squeezed into his locker stall, his leather chair pushed to one side, his sweaty clothes scattered across the floor.

After three days of histrionics and impoliteness from protesters and senators alike, Judge Kavanaugh showed what we all expected: He is an independent, fair and mainstream judge.
