PITTSBURGH, Jan. 6 (UPI) -- Josh Scobee kicked a 25-yard field goal with 37 seconds remaining Saturday to hand the Jacksonville Jaguars a 31-29 playoff victory over Pittsburgh.
The Steelers had rebounded from an 18-point fourth-quarter deficit to take a one-point lead in the AFC wild-card match-up.
David Garrard passed for 140 yards and rushed for 58 more, including a fourth-down scramble that set up Scobee's kick. The Jaguars (12-5) became the first team in NFL history to defeat the Steelers in Pittsburgh twice during the same season.
Maurice Jones-Drew had 158 all-purpose yards and a pair of touchdowns.
The Jacksonville defense forced Ben Roethlisberger into four turnovers on its way to clinching a date with either New England or Indianapolis next weekend.
Roethlisberger completed 29 of 42 passes for 337 yards with two touchdowns, but fumbled once and was intercepted three times.
The Steelers (10-7) lost for the fourth time in the last five weeks. Hines Ward had 10 catches for 135 yards and Najeh Davenport rushed for a pair of scores, but the Steelers trailed 28-10 heading to the final quarter.
