JACKSONVILLE<\/strong> \u2013 Senior writer John Oehser, senior correspondent Brian Sexton and team reporter Kainani Stevens offer quick thoughts on the Jaguars\u2019 20-12 loss to the Seattle Seahawks in a 2025 Week 6 game<\/a> at EverBank Stadium<\/a> in Jacksonville Sunday.<\/p>\n

  1. What was reliable before Sunday \u2026 wasn’t.<\/strong> The Jaguars’ success through five games was built largely on strong offensive-line play and a turnover-centric defense. The Jaguars struggled in those areas Sunday, with the Seahawks harassing quarterback Trevor Lawrence<\/a> throughout \u2013 pressuring him an estimated 20 times and sacking him seven times. “They beat us up up front,” Head Coach Liam Coen<\/a> said. This came after the Jaguars entered Sunday having allowed six sacks in five games. The Jaguars also on Sunday rushed for a season-low 59 yards on 19 carries. As significant<\/strong>: A Jaguars defense that entered the game leading the NFL with 14 takeaways did not force one Sunday. “That’s our life blood,” Jaguars cornerback Jourdan Lewis<\/a> said. “We need turnovers. We need turnovers to win games. I honestly feel like we could have got a few turnovers and gave the football back to the offense in advantageous positions. That didn’t happen.” The Seahawks took away the Jaguars’ strength. The best teams counter that and find a way to win. It’s not surprising the Jaguars aren’t there yet in the sixth game of a new regime and direction. But the sooner they do get there, the sooner they start being a team that can win consistently against tricky parts of the schedule.<\/li>\n
  2. This isn’t a tragedy, but it can’t be ignored.<\/strong> Make no mistake: Sunday’s loss doesn’t come anywhere near ending the Jaguars’ season, and one loss after a three-game winning streak doesn’t mean they’re suddenly a bad team. But they are a team that heads to London this week for Sunday\u2019s game against the Los Angeles Rams at Wembley Stadium<\/a> with some serious issues to address. Foremost: The penalty trend that ebbed in a victory over the Kansas City Chiefs Monday, flowed in a big and costly way on Sunday with the Jaguars committing 10 for 76 yards. As Coen noted, many came at key times. As significantly, they had the cumulative effect of the Jaguars’ offense \u2013 already under duress by a strong Seattle pass rush \u2013 seeming to be facing negative down-and-distance situations for most of the game. Coen has stressed since his arrival the Jaguars can’t beat good teams making such mistakes. He stressed it again Sunday. It’s time for the message to be heard. These Jaguars are good enough to be 4-1 and to contend for the postseason. But they’re not good enough to win consistently giving games away. “We have to be on our Ps and Qs when we go out there in London,” Lewis said. “That means just re-locking in and understanding our process has to be refined. We’ve got to get this win.”<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"JACKSONVILLE \u2013 Senior writer John Oehser, senior correspondent Brian Sexton and team reporter Kainani Stevens offer quick thoughts…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":298568,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5136],"tags":[5229,65474,82024,3188,723,57224,7310,58963,58965,61384,80677,58960,82025,149382,67,586,132,5230,68,2969],"class_list":{"0":"post-298567","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-jacksonville","8":"tag-america","9":"tag-brian-sexton","10":"tag-category-waste-pro","11":"tag-fl","12":"tag-florida","13":"tag-front-page-headline","14":"tag-jacksonville","15":"tag-john-oehser","16":"tag-kainani-kai-stevens-zaskey","17":"tag-news-front-page-headline","18":"tag-news-gameday","19":"tag-news-jaguars-news","20":"tag-news-quick-thoughts","21":"tag-seattle-seahawks-at-jacksonville-jaguars-2025-reg-6","22":"tag-united-states","23":"tag-united-states-of-america","24":"tag-unitedstates","25":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","26":"tag-us","27":"tag-usa"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115364014812403161","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/298567","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=298567"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/298567\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/298568"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=298567"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=298567"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=298567"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
