The Jacksonville Jaguars pulled out a win in the final seconds of their recent game against the Philadelphia Eagles in London. Following the game, Jaguars head coach Liam Coen took some of the blame for his team's penalties in the contest.
Jacksonville committed a whopping 13 penalties in their 19-17 victory. Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence is tipping his cap to his head coach for not deflecting all the blame on others.
“It's always great hearing your coach and play-caller talking about every situation. We understand what happened and there were some things we have to clean up as players, too,” Lawrence said, per The Florida-Times Union.
In the Eagles game, the Jaguars were called for delay of game on offense more than once. Coen said afterward that it was mostly on him for that.
“That was probably one of the louder atmospheres I've been in a while,” Coen said, per ESPN. “Especially in those critical moments to where, ‘Hey guys, I can help you out with my playcall.' Maybe shorten it up, trim the verbiage or call something a little bit more simplified down there where it was in that end zone specifically that got loud and some of those critical downs.”
The Jaguars head coach is expected to make tweaks and changes to his play calling, after that situation. Jacksonville is now 4-1 on the season after defeating the Eagles.
