JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- The asterisk the Jacksonville Jaguars had on their Web site next to New England's perfect record, a mark indicating the Patriots were caught cheating in one game this season, has been removed.

The Jaguars, who play at New England in the divisional round of the AFC playoffs Saturday night, decided to remove the asterisk Friday.

Jaguars.com senior editor Vic Ketchman put the asterisk next to the Patriots in his weekly "power rankings." Ketchman said he put it there in "an attempt at subtle humor." It remained there, mostly under the radar, for four months.

That changed this week, when several media outlets turned the asterisk into a story.
