London – Jacksonville Jaguars linebacker Foyesade Oluokun has revealed his thoughts on the recent defeat to the Seattle Seahawks while looking ahead to the upcoming matchup against the Los Angeles Rams. Following the loss, Oluokun emphasized the importance of preparation and adaptation ahead of the team’s trip to London for this week’s game.
Oluokun expressed a preference for traveling to London on a Monday instead of a Thursday. By doing so, he believes the team can better manage sleep-related challenges, allowing for adequate recovery and practice time before taking on their opponents. He noted that arriving early in London provides a competitive advantage, enabling players to acclimate to the environment and mitigate potential jet lag.
Playing in London is an experience Oluokun enjoys, highlighting the camaraderie developed during international trips. He believes that successful management of the travel experience can significantly enhance the team’s chances of victory. Reflecting on previous trips to London, he observed that such experiences have historically improved team morale and strengthened bonds among teammates.

In the recent game against the Seahawks, Oluokun recorded nine total tackles, including six solo, and defended one pass. He played all 100% of the Jaguars’ defensive snaps during the match. For the season, he has compiled 53 total tackles, one sack, three passes defended, and two forced fumbles over the first six games.
As the Jaguars gear up for their game against the Rams, Oluokun is recognized as one of the league’s top defensive playmakers. He was noted as an honorable mention in ESPN’s top linebacker rankings, reflecting solid yet not elite recognition. Pro Football Focus ranks the Jaguars’ linebacker unit as the fifth-best overall heading into the 2025 season.
Team Dynamics
Previously, Oluokun led the league in tackles, achieving 192 in 2021 and 184 in 2022. Alongside fourth-year linebacker Devin Lloyd, who is experiencing a resurgence this season and significantly impacting win probability, the Jaguars’ defense has been instrumental in securing victories. The duo’s strong performances are credited with maintaining the Jaguars’ position as one of the top defensive units in the NFL.
The Jaguars currently hold a record of 4-1, which ties them for the best record in football. Their successful season has been bolstered by robust contributions from their defensive unit, including the solid performances from Oluokun and Lloyd.
The upcoming matchup against the Rams presents a critical challenge for Oluokun and the Jaguars. With their eye on maintaining momentum and building upon their defensive strengths, the team aims to continue their successful streak in the league.
