Jacksonville, Florida – The Jacksonville Jaguars suffered a disappointing 20-12 loss to the Seattle Seahawks, prompting critical assessments from players regarding their performance. Cornerback Jourdan Lewis addressed the media following the game, placing significant emphasis on the team’s need to improve, indicating that the loss is the chief concern overshadowing any other evaluations.
Lewis expressed that defensive execution was a primary issue during the game. He felt there were plays he could have performed better on, particularly noting a missed opportunity resulting in a touchdown for the Seahawks. The cornerback indicated that the team struggled from the outset with poor communication and execution, which hampered their overall performance.
Despite managing to limit big plays from the Seahawks’ offense in the second half, Lewis admitted that this was not sufficient to secure a victory. The defensive unit had difficulties applying adequate pressure on Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold, recording only four quarterback hits and a single sack throughout the game. This lack of pressure, highlighted by head coach Liam Coen, is an area where the Jaguars recognize they need improvement.
In discussing the performance of cornerbacks who rotated through various positions during the game, Lewis acknowledged the importance of maintaining confidence among players. He noted that while they fought back during the game, the overall effort fell short of what was required to secure a win.
Looking ahead, Lewis sees the upcoming road trip to London as a crucial opportunity for the Jaguars to refine their preparation and processes. He stressed the importance of urgency in preparation and execution, urging the necessity for the team to maintain cohesion throughout the full sixty minutes of each game.
No turnovers were created by the Jaguars in this matchup against the Seahawks, which is notable as the team entered this game already leading the league with the highest number of turnovers this season. Turnover production is vital for their success according to Lewis, who noted that creating takeaways is essential for improving their performance.
Cooper Kupp scored his first touchdown as a Seahawk in this game, made possible by a significant 29-yard catch earlier in the match. This moment underscored the effectiveness of the Seahawks’ offense and highlighted areas where the Jaguars’ defense fell short.
In conclusion, Lewis clearly stated the urgency for the Jaguars to improve in upcoming games to secure victories. The team has identified specific areas to enhance, including defense and communication, as they prepare for their next challenges. With a road game looming, the Jaguars are looking to translate their practice efforts into a more cohesive and effective team performance on the field.
