NFL Trade Rumors
The Jaguars are coming off a 36-29 loss to the Texans in Week 10, where Jacksonville was leading 29-10 entering the fourth quarter. Jaguars HC Liam Coen said they need to quickly move on from the loss and turn their focus to Week 11.
“We can’t relive the moment,” Coen said, via John Oehser of the team’s site. “We can’t change anything about the outcome of yesterday. It sucks, it’s brutal. But this is the NFL. The real adversity, the real response to gut-wrenching, tough losses like this. Everything is in front of us. We have every opportunity to go win this week. That’s all that matters. We’ve got to win this week. When the players get back in the building [after a day off Tuesday], we are preparing for another opponent. We have to get this tape fixed and corrected and moved on, but I’m not worried about losing the team by any means.”
Jaguars DT Arik Armstead reiterated that they can’t dwell on the disastrous loss.
“Whether you like it or not, we have another game coming up here in six days,” Armstead said. “Lingering about what happened this last game isn’t going to do anything for the Chargers. You learn from your mistakes. You get things cleaned up and then you move on. We’re still in a very good position, with our season ahead of us. You turn the page and get back to work.”
Coen feels they lost their edge in the fourth quarter of Sunday’s loss.
“I didn’t feel like we had enough edge yesterday,” Coen said. “I think we’ve shown to have the edge at times. You’re on the right side of some of those games going into yesterday and then you have a 19-point lead in the fourth quarter. We didn’t have our edge in the fourth quarter yesterday, and that’s what’s very disappointing about that game. But the beauty of this league is we have an opportunity on Sunday to regain that edge into, ‘Hey, if we’re in that moment again, let’s see how we respond.”’
Texans DEs Danielle Hunter and Will Anderson Jr. were impressive in their 36-29 win over the Jaguars, respectively recording 3.5 sacks and one sack. Houston HC DeMeco Ryans highly praised both players following Week 10’s win.
“I’m happy I never played quarterback because I’ll probably be taking a lot of sacks,” Ryans...
