NFL Trade Rumors
Jaguars LB Devin Lloyd recorded a 99-yard interception return for a touchdown in Jacksonville’s Monday Night win over the Chiefs. He praised their coaching staff for making the right call in a critical situation.
“It was just a great call,” Lloyd said, via Greg Auman of Fox Sports. “It was a zero look, and I was able to pop out. We know the ball is coming out quick, so it’s really about me getting my eyes back and getting in the right vicinity. So, the ball was right there, thankfully, and I picked up a couple blocks. Those were big. I don’t know if I would have made it if I didn’t get those. Grateful for everybody who helped me get into the end zone.”
Jaguars LB Josh Hines-Allen feels they put the NFL “on notice” with their result.
“Hopefully we put the league on notice, but obviously, it’s a week-by-week basis, so we can’t really look at it too far outward,” Hines-Allen said. “We can only look internally, and I think defensively, we can get a lot better. Offensively, we battled our ass off, and special teams, they did a great job as well.”
Jacksonville is currently 3-0 in one-score games after finishing 3-10 in 2024. Lloyd thinks their team always had the grit to be successful and thinks they are learning from their mistakes last season.
“We were close, but we never finished those out,” Lloyd said. “For us, I think we always had grit, and it was more so execution. We can’t beat ourselves. I think now we’re at a point where we’re really not beating ourselves, and then … when we needed [it] most, guys stepping up, executing and making plays.”
