London – The Jacksonville Jaguars suffered their second consecutive loss, falling to the Los Angeles Rams with a score of 35-7 at Wembley Stadium in London. The game attracted a crowd of 86,152 spectators and marked a challenging outing for the Jaguars, who have dropped from a strong 4-1 start to a current record of 4-3.
Head Coach Liam Coen stressed the importance of self-evaluation following the game, indicating that the team’s shortcomings begin with his leadership. The Jaguars arrived in London nearly a week ahead of their matchup, while the Rams landed on the morning of the game.
Quarterback Trevor Lawrence had a challenging performance, completing 23 passes out of 48 attempts for a total of 296 yards and one touchdown. Lawrence’s touchdown came late in the game, connecting with rookie receiver Travis Hunter on a 34-yard pass, marking Hunter’s first career touchdown. Despite a tough outing, Hunter had a notable game with eight receptions for 101 yards.
The Jaguars faced significant struggles in the first half, managing only six first downs and a mere 126 total yards, including just 26 rushing yards. Running back Travis Etienne only managed 44 rushing yards on eight carries. The Rams’ quarterback, Matthew Stafford, excelled, throwing for 182 yards with five touchdowns, three of which occurred in the first half. The Rams comfortably led at halftime, with a score of 21-0.
Stafford’s top target was Davante Adams, who caught five passes for 35 yards and three touchdowns. Additionally, wide receiver Komata Mumpfield and tight end Terrance Ferguson also added touchdown receptions. The Jaguars’ defense struggled in the first half, allowing the Rams to score on three consecutive possessions inside the Jaguars’ 20-yard line.
Throughout the game, the Jaguars committed 13 penalties, totaling 119 yards. A particularly critical penalty was an illegal block that negated a punt return touchdown by Parker Washington, further hampering the Jaguars’ chances. The Jaguars’ defense only recorded one sack and failed to create any turnovers, despite leading the NFL with 14 takeaways entering this game.
In the second half, the Jaguars’ defense improved, stopping the Rams on four consecutive drives. However, Lawrence’s performance was marred by missed routine throws, and he received limited support from his receivers, who dropped several key passes. The Jaguars will take advantage of their bye week to reassess personnel and offensive strategies ahead of their next game against the Las Vegas Raiders on November 2.
The current state of the Jaguars’ season reflects significant concerns as they aim to regain momentum heading into their next matchup. With the combination of self-evaluation, strategic adjustments, and addressing on-field performance, the Jaguars hope to return to form and improve their record.
