The Ravens offense found faith in a young emerging quarterback in Joe Flacco.

The Denver Broncos were amidst one of the most tragic stories to end the regular season in 2008. Heading into the last 3 weeks of the season, the Broncos held a 3 game advantage over the San Diego Chargers. However, the Broncos lost their final 3 games including a battle with the Chargers keeping them out of the post-season. .

Jacksonville had a disappointing season in 2008 ending the year at 5-11 and 4th place in the AFC South. The Jaguars were just not impressive on either side of the ball.
