There were two different myths that came into play for this past weekend’s match-ups.  Which myth would prove to be the truth: Young QB’s faltering in their first play-off game?  Or home-field advantage should determine the winner.  Well unfortunately for Jaguar, Giants, and Bucs fans the young QB myth turned out to be the truth, and it could have been a clean sweep if not for the Palmer injury.  While three out of the four home teams came out losers.

Bengals QB, Carson Palmer was injured early in the game with a torn knee.  Luckily Jon Kitna played well, but it still wasn’t enough to overcome the experienced Steelers.  With Palmer out of the game, we still won’t know how he’ll react in the next playoff match-up.  The only home team to prevail was the New England Patriots.  Jacksonville had both myths working against them, playing on the road and the first playoff test for Byron Leftwich.
