Jaguars linebacker Paul Posluszny joined PFT Live on Tuesday, a day after the Jags shocked the Ravens on Monday Night Football.

Posluszny explained that, before the game, coach Jack Del Rio told the players that, if they want to be respected, they need to win the game. Win it they did, and respect they have indeed earned.

Posluszny also addressed the question of whether the team realized that losses on Monday night and then Sunday in Houston could have spelled doom for Del Rio.
