They enter this game with only one win and are both in the middle of a lost season.

They have lost to the Seahawks, Jets, 49ers, Dolphins, and 49ers. However, starting rookie Drake Maye as the quarterback gives the Patriots some hope. He played well in his first game and gives fans something to hope for. This season is lost, so the excitement comes from the young players getting opportunities.</p><p>The Jaguars might be the most disappointing team in the NFL this season. They are 1-5 and only have a win against the Colts. They have losses to the 49ers, Browns, Bills, Texans, and most recently, the Bears. Something has not been clicking for this team, but they get a good matchup against a struggling Patriots team in London. The Jaguars could use a win here to start returning to respectability.</p><p><i><b>Here are the Patriots-Jaguars <a href="https://sportsbook.fanduel.com/navigation/nfl" rel="noopener">NFL odds</a>, courtesy of FanDuel. </b></i></p><h2><b>NFL Odds: Patriots-Jaguars Odds</b></h2><p>New England Patriots: +5.5 (-110)</p><p>Moneyline: +205</p><p>Jacksonville Jaguars: -5.5 (-110)</p><p>Moneyline: -250</p><p>Over: 42.5 (-115)</p><p>Under: 42.5 (-105)</p><h2><b>How to Watch Patriots vs. Jaguars</b></h2><p>Time: 9:30 pm ET/6:30 pm PT</p><p>TV: NFL Network</p><p><b><i>Stream: fuboTV (<a href="https://www.fubo.tv/lp/football/?irad=356362&amp;irmp=492408" rel="noopener">Free Trial</a>)</i></b></p><h2><b>Why The Patriots Could Cover The Spread/Win</b></h2><p>The New England Patriots need some sort of rebound after five straight losses. Their offense has been a big struggle. They average 257.5 yards per game, which is third to last in the NFL. Then, they are second to last in scoring at 13.8 points per game. They are jumpstarting this offense with Drake Maye at quarterback, so things might start to look different in this game. He had 265 passing yards, three passing touchdowns, and two interceptions on a 58.5% completion percentage. Rhamondre Stevenson has been okay at best on the ground, with 77 carries for 356 rushing yards and three touchdowns. The receiving corps has been awful, with DeMario Douglas and Hunter Henry being standouts with 245 receiving yards and 221 receiving yards apiece, and both have one touchdown.</p><p>Conversely, the Patriots’ defense has struggled this season as well. They allow 358.8 total yards per game and 23.8 points per game. They have struggled against both the run and the passing game and do not have much else to like on defense from a statistical perspective. This defense has some talent as an overall unit, and Christian Gonzalez stands out in the secondary. He is great at shutting down receivers, even with the team struggling.</p><h2><b>Why The Jaguars Could Cover The Spread/Win</b></h2><p>The Jaguars have been a huge disappointment this season. They have pieces on this team but have not played well on offense. They average 319.5 yards per game and score 18.8 points per game. The offense relies on Trevor Lawrence. He has 1,334 passing yards, eight touchdowns, and three interceptions with a 60.7% completion percentage. The running game seems like it’s been turned over to Tank Bigsby over Travis Etienne. Bigsby has 297 rushing yards and two touchdowns on 41 carries. Rookie wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. is the best player out wide with 25 receptions for 424 receiving yards and three touchdowns.</p><p>The Jaguars’ defense has been awful this season. They allow 390 yards per game, which is second-worst in the NFL. They also allow 29.7 points per game, which is second-worst in the NFL. They have the worst passing defense in the NFL, allowing 276.7 passing yards through the air. The defense has talent with Josh Hines-Allen and Arik Armstead up front and then Devin Lloyd in the middle, but the secondary has been awful.</p><h2><b>Final Patriots-Jaguars Prediction &amp; Pick</b></h2><p>The Jaguars have more talent, but neither team has much to like in this game. Still, the Jaguars are more acclimated to London by staying for an extra week, and the Patriots are awful. The Jaguars should win and cover in this game and go back home to the U.S. with a 1-1 record. This is a good start to getting back to some sort of respectability.</p><p><b>Final Patriots-Jaguars Prediction &amp; Pick:</b> <b>Jacksonville Jaguars -5.5 (-110)</b></p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Jack has built his net worth mostly while playing linebacker in the NFL for the Jacksonville Jaguars. In 2023, he made the surprising announcement that he had decided to retire from the NFL. Jack – who played the previous season with the Pittsburgh Steelers – had signed with the Philadelphia Eagles on Aug. 6.</p><p>However, the Steelers came calling in November and convinced Jack to come out of retirement. He ended up playing three games during the season and even played in the Steelers’ first-round playoff loss to the Baltimore Ravens. However, Jack has yet to sign with a team for the 2024 season. Here’s a look at Myles Jack’s net worth in 2024.</p><h2><b>What is Myles Jack’s net worth in 2024?: $5 million (estimate)</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/Myles-Jack-takes-the-field.jpg"></figure><p>Charles LeClaire-Imagn Images</p><p>Myles Jack has made enough money in his career that he probably wouldn’t have to work much more in his life. The football star has NFL career earnings of $49,113,841, according to <a href="https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/philadelphia-eagles/myles-jack-18984/cash-earnings/" rel="noopener">Spotrac</a>. Sites including <a href="https://www.sportskeeda.com/nfl/myles-jack-career-earnings-how-much-former-jaguars-lb-earn-7-year-football-career#:~:text=Now%2C%20Jack%20is%20walking%20away,worth%20of%20about%20%245%20million." rel="noopener">SportsKeeda</a> estimate Myles Jack’s net worth is $5 million.</p><p>Still, Jack stated that he <a href="https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/eagles-myles-jack-informs-team-he-plans-to-retire-per-report-lb-admitted-he-considered-trade-school/" rel="noopener">considered going to trade school</a> to become a plumber or an electrician. The linebacker first started thinking about trade school after being released by the Steelers on March 16, 2023. Instead, he was convinced by Arizona Cardinals’ safety and childhood friend, Budda Baker, to train with him in Scottsdale, Ariz., to try and make a comeback.</p><p>“I like to work. I could just sit at home,” Jack said. “I’ve been blessed to make a lot of money. So I could just retire and sit at the house…But I’m too bored. My mind is too much. So I just want to be innovative. I don’t know, if a zombie apocalypse happens, I want to be able to build something or fix something.”</p><h2><b>Myles Jack is drafted by the Jaguars</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/Myles-Jack-celebrates.jpg"><figcaption>Klement-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Myles Jack’s professional career began in 2016 as a second-round pick by the Jacksonville Jaguars. The linebacker out of UCLA had top-five talent in the draft, but concerns over a degenerative condition in his knee caused him to fall down draft boards.</p><p>Jack had all the talent in the world, but scouts were fearful that he would have a short career. Instead, he went on to have a productive seven-year career.</p><p>He played with the Jaguars from 2016-2021 and is best known for being one of the leaders of the 2017 team that made the AFC championship game.</p><h2><b>Myles Jack signs with the Steelers</b></h2><p>After his Jaguars tenure ended, he signed with the Steelers for the 2022 season. Jack had a resurgence of a year as a starter for the team, yet <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/steelers-news-myles-jack-release-mulls-reunion-bud-dupree" rel="noopener">they released him</a> at season’s end.</p><p>After considering trade school, Jack gave the NFL one last shot. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/eagles-news-philadelphia-bolsters-defense-signing-pair-standout-linebackers" rel="noopener">He was signed</a> – along with Zach Cunningham – on Aug. 6, 2023, by the Eagles. The veteran duo was supposed to come in and compete for starting jobs while mentoring the young Eagles’ linebacker core.</p><p>Jack had initially received first-team reps for the Eagles, but through the course of camp, he had started to slide down the depth chart. On Aug. 20, he officially announced he was calling his NFL career quits.</p><p>Jack was a great linebacker with exceptional coverage skills for the position. He was versatile, as he could play off-ball or on the edge, and he was stout against the run. The UCLA product had over 100 combined tackles four times in his career.</p><p>As it seems that Myles Jack has no interest in enjoying retirement, it will be interesting to see where life takes him next.

Moreover, even their own players, like safety <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/jaguars-news-andre-cisco-calls-out-jacksonville-quitting-bears">Andre Cisco, called out the Jaguars for “quitting,”</a> while the fans wanted the team to <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/jaguars-news-fans-want-jacksonville-leave-doug-pederson-london">leave coach Doug Pederson in London</a>. Now, the Jaguars’ safety Tashaun Gipson remains on the suspended players’ list despite finishing his six-game suspension.</p><p>“Jaguars safety Tashaun Gipson, who had been suspended six games, was not reinstated from the suspended list today as scheduled. He remains ineligible,” per <a href="https://x.com/TomPelissero/status/1845944440885526678" rel="noopener">this post</a> from NFL insider Tom Pelissero on X, formerly Twitter.</p><h2><b>The Jaguars have problems</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Tashaun-Gipson-at-a-press-conference.jpg"><figcaption>© Kyle Terada-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>In the offseason, the safety reunited with the Jaguars on a one-year contract after a year with the San Francisco 49ers. He had revitalized his career there, but the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl-news-former-49ers-db-tashaun-gipson-suspended-six-games">NFL had suspended Gipson for six games</a> for violating the league’s performance-enhancing drugs (PEDs) policy.</p><p>During his first tenure with the Jaguars, the undrafted safety became a starter on the team that advanced to the AFC title game in 2017. However, that team also blew a ten-point fourth quarter lead to Tom Brady and the New England Patriots, who fell to the Philadelphia Eagles in the Super Bowl.</p><p>Meanwhile, it’s not only Gipson whose job seems to be in jeopardy. The embarrassing loss to the Bears put Doug Pederson on the hot seat, and he may not have enough time to turn the season around before the team tunes him out and the owners give him the ax.</p><h2><b>What’s next?</b></h2><p>Still, he reminded his team that all they need to do is win games, a tough ask for a 1-5 team, at the risk of taking on the identity of losers throughout the season.</p><p>“That’s why we coach and <a href="https://www.espn.ph/nfl/story/_/id/41791446/doug-pederson-culture-change-comment-jaguars-just-need-wins" rel="noopener">that’s why we play</a>,” the coach said, via Michael DiRocco of ESPN. “These guys bust their tails during the week and I don’t want them to feel, even though we haven’t won [many games] yet, I don’t want them to feel sort of mentally defeated, if that makes sense, because that’s where the slippery slope comes in.”</p><p>Again, though, it’s hard not to feel “mentally defeated” when you’ve come out the gate and lost five out of six games.</p><p>“If you feel like you’re going into a game where you don’t have a chance, then you’re not going to have a chance,” the coach added. “You’re not going to give yourself an opportunity to win that game.”</p><p>The Jaguars will face fellow AFC bottom-dweller Patriots on Week 7. Pederson should hope his team has it all together if he wants to keep his job past the week, though owner <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/jaguars-news-owner-throws-support-behind-doug-pederson-despite-slow-start-2024-campaign">Shahid Khan still believes in Pederson</a>.</p><p>Likewise, the Jaguars might want to settle Gipson’s reinstatement from the suspended players list.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

In the victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/bears-news-bears-cole-kmet-reveals-immediate-reaction-learning-long-snap-jaguars">Kmet stepped up as the emergency long snapper</a> after the team’s starter, Scott Daly, was sidelined with a knee injury during the second offensive drive.</p><p>Kmet recorded five receptions for 70 yards and two touchdowns, significantly contributing to the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/3-bears-overreactions-blowout-win-over-lowly-jaguars">Bears’ 35-16 win against the Jacksonville Jaguars</a>.</p><p>On Monday, NFL Media’s Tom Pelissero revealed that Daly’s injury is deemed week-to-week. Nonetheless, the <a href="https://x.com/TomPelissero/status/1845948500976046204" rel="noopener">specialist might not miss any</a> action as the Bears are beginning their bye week today.</p><h2><b>Cole Kmet getting relieved of his duties as the Chicago Bears long snapper</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Bears-Cole-Kmet-running-off-the-field.jpg"><figcaption>Peter van den Berg-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>It’s always a relief to find out that a starting player won’t be sidelined for long, but this is especially beneficial for Daly’s backup. Following the game, Kmet admitted that he’s not particularly thrilled about playing long snapper, even though he serves as the team’s backup in that role.</p><p>“It’s not like I have a ton of time on task on that, like I do at tight end, but at the end of the day that’s kind of what this league is, you just have to plug-n-play guys out of position here and there and it just happened to me,” said the Bears’ star tight-end.</p><p>“I was tired enough on each of those where I’m not even thinking about it in a sense. You’re just so tired on the field that, I’m gonna shoot this ball into my legs real quick and get this over with. I think that’s kind of the feel. I think going in the night of the game, though, I do think about all the scenarios and the plays and then I just think, ‘Gosh, I hope [Patrick] Scales or Scott [Daly] don’t get hurt today’,” Kmet continued.</p><h2><b>Cole Kmet excelling at a role he reluctantly plays</b></h2><p>Although Kmet wasn’t exactly excited to take on that role during Sunday’s game, he excelled, delivering perfect snaps for extra point attempts and a field goal attempt late in the game. However, the two touchdowns he scored will be what truly counts in the Bears’ record books.</p><p>As per Stathead, Kmet has achieved multiple touchdown receptions in a game five times throughout his career. This places him among just two Bears tight ends to reach that milestone, with Mike Ditka holding the record at six.</p><p>Although <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/bears-news-cole-kmet-double-duty-td-machine-long-snapper-vs-jaguars">Kmet has recorded two touchdown catches</a> in each of those games, Ditka’s career-high in a single game was four, accomplished during an October 1963 victory against the Rams.</p><p>Desmond Clark is the only other Bears tight end to have three multiple-touchdown games, with two of those occurring in the 2006 season when the Bears made it to the Super Bowl.</p><p>Adding to his accomplishments, Kmet became the first long-snapper in NFL history to score two touchdowns in a single half following his performance on Sunday.</p><p>“Obviously it’s pretty dramatic when you lose your short and long snapper,” Bears head coach Matt Eberflus remarked on Monday.</p><p>“It’s an important part, scoring points and obviously getting the punts off. He practices it every Thursday, after practice he gets with those guys for the long and short snaps, and he does a good job. He’s solid in there and I know he’s always concerned that he has to do that and thankfully yesterday we didn’t punt again after the injury. So, we were good. He was good in there and my hats off to him,” <a href="https://atozsports.com/nfl/chicago-bears-news/bears-cole-kmet-emergency-long-snapper-scott-daly-injury-update/" rel="noopener">he continued via</a> Kole Noble of A to Z Sports.</p><p>The bye week arrives at an opportune moment for Kmet and the Bears.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

While the Urban Meyer era was very dark, the Pederson era has not been much better. Things must change for Trevor Lawrence’s career to not be wasted on a terrible team.</p><p>Part of the reason that the Jaguars have a 1-5 record is<a href="https://clutchpoints.com/bill-simmons-shares-jaguars-alarmingly-awful-trevor-lawrence-comparison"> because Lawrence has been brutal</a>.

So why not send Etienne to a team that is looking to boost its backfield in an effort to contend?” Florio added.</p><h2><b>Jaguars RB Travis Etienne Jr. on the move soon?</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Travis-Etienne-Jr.-of-the-Jaguars-in-action.jpg"><figcaption>© Corey Perrine/Florida Times-Union / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Apart from his slippage in the running back depth chart amid the emergence of Bigsby, Etienne’s value could have also dropped after being declared week-to-week by head coach Doug Pederson after he <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/jaguars-news-travis-etienne-jr-injury-update">suffered an apparent lower-body injury</a> during Sunday’s 35-16 loss to Caleb Williams and the Chicago Bears at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Etienne only had three touches for a negative-one-yard output.</p><p>The former Clemson Tigers star running back put ink on paper to sign a four-year deal worth $12.89 million with the Jaguars in 2021. Jacksonville also picked up their option for the 2025 NFL season on Etienne which is worth $6.143 million. He was picked by Jacksonville in the first round of the 2021 NFL draft as the 25th pick overall.</p><p>As Florio noted, that commitment to pay Etienne next season could deter teams from going after the 25-year-old running back before the trade deadline, but he could still be worth a shot for a club looking to shore up their RB room. Perhaps going into a much better offensive environment could kickstart Etienne’s career, provided that he is healthy, of course.</p><p>So far in the 2024 NFL season, Etienne only has 230 rushing yards and two touchdowns on 56 carries. His current pace puts him in danger of ending his streak of 1,000-yard seasons. After rushing for 1,125 yards and five touchdowns on 220 carries in his rookie season in 2022, Etienne generated a total of 1,008 rushing yards with 11 scores on 267 attempts on the ground the following campaign.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

While the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/jaguars-most-blame-week-6-loss-bears">Jaguars had blame to go all around</a>, Lawrence certainly didn’t play his best brand of football. He threw <a href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/L/LawrTr00.htm" rel="noopener">23-for-35 with 234 yards and two touchdowns</a>, along with an interception.</p><p>The numbers don’t look bad but it’s not what people are used to seeing. Simmons had <a href="https://youtu.be/Oe9No3xPCWM?t=2202" rel="noopener">some harsh criticism</a> for the former first-overall pick on The Bill Simmons Podcast.</p><p>“He’s 21-35 in his career, that’s 55 games… how many guys have started at least 55 games but won less than 25 games,” Simmons said. “Well it’s a nine-person list and here’s that list. It goes in order of 21 and 25 wins; Trevor Lawrence, Tim Couch, David Carr, Josh McCown, Rick Mirer, Daniel Jones, Blake Bortles, Charlie Batch, and Josh Freeman.</p><p>“Nine quarterbacks and the worst one of all was David Carr at 23-56. Josh McCown was 23-53, but that’s just an awful list, I was shocked. I was like ‘Is there anybody good on this list’? Daniel Jones, kind of. They went 9-8 maybe.”</p><h2><b>Trevor Lawrence still has the Jaguars’ trust amidst Bill Simmons’ criticism</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Jaguars-quarterback-Trevor-Lawrence-on-the-wrong-side-of-history.jpg"><figcaption>© Peter van den Berg-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Lawrence had a rocky rookie season, and the Jaguars finished with a 3-14 record. He also led the league with 17 interceptions that season. Despite this, Lawrence bounced back and had a major turnaround led by current head coach Doug Pederson. They went 9-8 and made his first Pro Bowl. During that season, he threw for 4,113 yards, 25 touchdowns, and only eight interceptions.</p><p>Despite the success in the previous season, the Jaguars quarterback has been a shell of himself. After being dismantled by the Buffalo Bills on Monday Night Football, retired NFL players LeSean McCoy and DeSean Jackson called out the quarterback. They even referred to <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/jaguars-news-desean-jackson-lesean-mccoy-blast-trevor-lawrence-for-trash-play">Lawrence as ‘garbage’ and ‘trash’</a> throughout that game. </p><p>Simmons mentioned another statistic between Lawrence and a former Jaguars quarterback.<br><br>“Blake Bortles started 73 games, he had 103 touchdowns and 75 picks, and Lawrence has started 55 and has 64 touchdowns and 41 picks,” Simmons said. ‘When you see all these numbers it’s pretty alarming and then when you watch the games he makes dumb plays at bad times.”</p><p>It’s hard to deny the evidence. There have been errant throws this season that haven’t occurred in prior seasons. The Jaguars defense hasn’t done Lawrence any favors either. Regardless, it doesn’t explain some of the throws into double coverage, completely misreading a route or not putting enough power on the ball. However, Lawrence can rewrite the script in Week 7 against a New England Patriots that just allowed 41 points.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

It started as another tough performance for the 25-year-old playmaker, as he hauled in zero passes and mustered three carries for minus-one yard.</p><p>He has been making an impact on the Jacksonville offense, but it appears that Pederson has favored more Tank Bigsby usage, of late.</p><p>Etienne’s numbers over the last few games have curtailed since his solid start to the season. He averaged 15 touches per game through the first three weeks, but only saw six rushing attempts in Week 5. Bigsby had been cooking with steam heading into the London matchup in Week 6.

D’Ernest Johnson also shared the workload with Bigsby after Etienne’s exit in Week 7, making it all the more confusing of who distances themself in this backfield. The offense also did more in the passing game thanks to <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/jaguars-news-jacksonville-gets-pair-great-evan-engram-gabe-davis-injury-updates">tight end Evan Engram and wide receiver Gabe Davis</a> being cleared for the game. Engram had 10 receptions for 102 yards, and didn’t miss one of his targets from Trevor Lawrence.</p><p>Given the successful return from Engram, it’s hard to figure how Pederson will shift the identity of this team without Etienne.

Head coach <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/jaguars-news-doug-pederson-unconcerned-stance-job-security-loss-bears">Doug Pederson sits on a very hot seat</a>, so much so that fans <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/jaguars-news-fans-want-jacksonville-leave-doug-pederson-london">would like to leave him in London</a>. And here are the Jaguars most to blame for the Week 6 loss Bears.</p><p>The epic fail for the Jaguars this week came in the form of a 35-16 beatdown. There’s plenty of blame to share in the locker room, but it starts at the top. And that’s with Pederson.</p><h2><b>Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson no longer captain of ship</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Jacksonville-Jaguars-head-coach-Doug-Pederson.jpg"><figcaption>Kirby Lee-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>The Jaguars don’t look like a good football team. Even worse, they don’t look like an engaged squad. That falls on the once-respected shoulders of Pederson, whether he wants to accept it or not. Pederson acknowledged changes<a href="https://www.espn.com.au/nfl/story/_/id/41775737/jaguars-slippery-slope-safety-sees-lot-quit-vs-bears" rel="noopener"> need to be made</a>, according to espn.com</p><p>“We play a 17-game schedule, so we’ve got a few more games left,” Pederson said. “Nobody’s going to feel sorry for us. We’ve got to change. I say we. It’s all of us, coaches, players, everybody. We’ve got to change right now that culture.</p><p>“Otherwise, it just gets out of control. We’re on a slippery slope, or right on the cusp of that slope. At some point we’ve got to (say) enough is enough, and you’ve got to have enough pride and figure out a way.”</p><p>Apparently the players aren’t standing behind Pederson. Safety Andre Cisco said he saw teammates quit in the game against the Bears.</p><p>“It was really bad,” Cisco said. “I just … I feel like it was … how should I say this … a lot of quit. Last line of defense in a situation like that you could feel when we’re playing as one and when we’re not. It felt very early in the game, maybe at halftime, that we weren’t playing as one. Guys got to understand, when you’re out there, you’re really playing for your brother.</p><p>“You’re putting guys in vulnerable positions whether that’s physically or just from a career aspect. Sunday, when it counts, we understand that’s the hardest part, but there’s no excuse for lack of effort. That’s literally the least you can do, is come out and give effort. I’m saying that to myself, too.”</p><h2><b>Did the Saints slack off, or not?</b></h2><p>Oddly, Pederson saw the same game with a different reaction.</p><p>“I feel like the guys are — they don’t quit,” Pederson said. “They keep fighting. We’ve got to figure out how to just get out of our way and just play football.”</p><p>The 1-5 start likely means the Jaguars won’t be involved in the playoff picture. Considering where the team landed just two short years ago, it’s hard to imagine how quickly it has fallen. In 2022, the Jaguars won a playoff game, a dramatic 31-30 decision over the Chargers before pushing the Chiefs to the limit in the divisional round with a 27-20 loss.</p><p>They finished 9-8 last season, but the wheels are coming off just six games into this year.</p><p>Yes, there are organizational issues that may be beyond Pederson’s control. But this type of loss against the Bears shows there’s a good chance Pederson has lost the locker room.</p><p>However, quarterback Trevor Lawrence said the team <a href="https://www.jaguars.com/video/k000004-trevor-lawrence-week-6-loss-to-bears-press-conference" rel="noopener">has not quit</a> on Pederson, according to jaguars.com.</p><p>“That’s our head coach,” Lawrence said. “We’re a team. Losing is hard. But it has nothing to do with that relationship and how we feel about Coach.”</p><h2><b>Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence didn’t get it done</b></h2><p>His numbers didn’t look awful, but Lawrence has to do a better job of keeping his team within striking distance. He completed 23 of 35 passes for 234 yards with a pair of touchdown tosses. He also carried four times for 17 yards.</p><p>For a guy who is supposed to be a generational talent, Lawrence often comes up small for the Jaguars.</p><p>“I felt like we were ready to play,” Lawrence said. “I felt we had a good week. Obviously it didn’t go our way. Didn’t make enough plays. Didn’t execute. Had too many mistakes.”</p><p>Lawrence said there’s still time to get the season going in the right direction.</p><p>“We’ve got 11 games left,” he said. “There’s definitely a way back. We gotta take care of business on our end. I’ve seen us pull ourselves out of holes bigger than this.”</p><p>Pederson said Lawrence gave effort, according to jaguarswire.com.</p><p>“He played tough,” Pederson said. “I mean, he’s just one man obviously, and we’ve got to play better all-around, everybody, and he included. He knows that. There’s ownership in that. Coaches, the same way. I take full responsibility obviously, but we all need to be better.”</p><p>Pederson said the team can’t be overwhelmed by the current situation.</p><p>“I feel for the players and the coaches,” Pederson said. “We work extremely too hard to be in this position. I feel like the guys, they don’t quit. They keep fighting. We have to figure out how to just get out of our way and just play football. I say that, and it sounds easy, but it’s tough. It’s a tough game to play. We didn’t expect to be here in this spot, and, hey, now we have to find a way to get out of it.”</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The No. 1 overall pick had the best game of his young career, throwing for 226 yards and four touchdowns with one interception.</p><h2><b>The Jaguars season keeps getting worse</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Trevor-Lawrence.jpg"><figcaption>Peter van den Berg-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>The Jaguars had high expectations coming into this season after a disappointing 2023 that saw them miss the playoffs after a late season slide. The trajectory of the team seemed to be heading in a good direction after they reached the Divisional Round in 2022, but they have gone downhill quickly since then.</p><p>Sunday’s loss may be rock bottom. Playing in London, where they’re comfortable, the Jaguars completely no-showed on both sides of the ball as the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/bears-news-what-pissed-off-caleb-williams-during-historic-game-vs-jaguars">Bears routed them for 60 straight minutes</a>. Sunday was the latest in a string of disheartening losses for Jacksonville this season that range from close games where execution errors cost them to blowouts where the team just looked overmatched. Now, with the Jaguars sitting at 1-5, their season is all but over.</p><p>The offense has been coherent, but inconsistent and frustrating at the same time. The running game is a disaster and it seems like Travis Etienne Jr. has regressed after a promising first few years in the league. Brian Thomas Jr. looks like a future blue chip player at wide receiver, but the other weapons haven’t been nearly effective enough, and Trevor Lawrence has looked great one week and unreliable the next.</p><p>On the other side, the defense has been a disaster. They are without question one of the worst units in the league, and there’s no better evidence of that than an average Bears offense carving them up all day on Sunday just one week after Joe Flacco and the Colts put up 34 points. Asking an inconsistent offense to win shootouts every week isn’t a sustainable way of playing, and the Jaguars are paying heavily for it through six weeks.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

I was just with him and I do,” Pederson <a href="https://x.com/ESPNdirocco/status/1845512802167095391" rel="noopener">said, via</a> ESPN’s Michael DiRocco.</p><p>Pederson, who won a Super Bowl with the Philadelphia Eagles in 2018, is 19-20 in three seasons as Jaguars head coach. In his first year, he led Jacksonville back to the playoffs for the first time since 2017. And in his second year, it appeared as if the Jags would cruise into the postseason.</p><p>But after starting 8-3, Jacksonville lost five of its last six and missed the playoffs entirely. This season, the Jaguars have picked up where they left off last year. Since the beginning of December 2023, the Jags are 2-10.</p><p>The massive dip in performance has Pederson looking for change.</p><p>“We’ve got to change,” Pederson said post-game, via DiRocco. “I say we, it’s all of us, coaches, players, everybody. We have got to change right now, that culture. Otherwise it just gets out of control. We’re on a slippery slope or right on the cusp of … that slope and at some point we’ve got to — we just have [to say] enough is enough and you got to have enough pride and figure out a way.”</p><p>Whether that change will be at the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/jaguars-hc-doug-pedersons-strange-reaction-to-job-status-question">head coaching position</a> remains to be seen. Khan, who owns Fulham FC, a Premier League club located in West London, voiced his support earlier this week for Pederson, general manager Trent Baalke, and the current players.</p><p>However, Khan had also indicated that the Jaguars’ competitiveness in three of their four losses to that point was encouraging. And Jacksonville was anything but competitive today.</p><p>The Bears led 14-3 at halftime and extended their lead early in the third quarter after Evan Engram fumbled on the first play of the half. While the Jaguars offense would bounce back and score on two of their next three possessions, Trevor Lawrence threw an interception just over a minute into the fourth quarter, which led to a three-play, 36-yard touchdown drive for the Bears.</p><p>The Jags will stay in London for the next week in anticipation of another UK game vs. the similarly dismal New England Patriots. Jacksonville’s next game back in the states will be at home vs. the Green Bay Packers on Oct. 27.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Engram has been dealing with a hamstring injury that has caused him to miss most of the 2024 season thus far. In fact, Engram only has one catch for five yards on the year.

Franchise owner Shahid Khan is throwing his support behind the embattled coach, amidst a disappointing season.</p><p>“<a href="https://www.jacksonville.com/story/sports/nfl/jaguars/2024/10/12/shad-khan-jacksonville-jaguars-outlook-supports-doug-pederson-trent-baalke/75644675007/" rel="noopener">I still believe in them</a>. I believe in the players, I believe in the coaching staff. I believe in Trent [Baalke],” Khan said, per The Florida Times-Union. “Obviously, the results are disappointing for all of them, just as well as me or any other Jaguar fan, but, the key thing one has to understand [is] we have evolved and really got to a level. I think we’ve got the players, we’ve got the coaching, we’ve got the facilities.”</p><p>Jaguars fans are not happy after the team stumbled out to a 1-4 start to the year. That disappointment comes after the team stumbled at the end of last season too, losing five of its last six games. This wasn’t supposed to be this bad in Jacksonville, after the team agreed to <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/why-trevor-lawrences-275-million-jaguars-contract-puts-immense-pressure-on-asap">a massive contract extension</a> this past offseason with quarterback Trevor Lawrence.</p><p>“I expect us to be competitive and winning every year and we have graduated to that point and not be someone we don’t know. So, sharing my expectations, I believe that,” Khan added. “The coaches who are there, players who are there, they’re coming here to win and if they’re not comfortable with that, they shouldn’t be here.

The Jaguars missed the 2023 postseason after starting the year 8-3. It didn’t help that Lawrence had a hurt shoulder, but the team collapsed near the end of the campaign.</p><p>Things <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/jaguars-news-trevor-lawrence-delivers-stern-message-teammates-after-0-4-start">started out just as bad</a> in 2024. Jacksonville lost its first four games. The team’s defense has struggled, giving up a whopping 143 points so far this year. The Jaguars offense has also struggled, posting a total of just 97 points in five games.</p><p>The Jaguars owner understands that fans are frustrated, but believes calmer waters lie ahead.</p><p>“I think [the Jaguars are] obviously headed in the right direction in a good way. I mean, you look at what’s happening with the stadium, I think you look at our fans, the support we have. I think we’re in a good place,” Khan added.</p><p>The Jaguars next play the Chicago Bears on Sunday, with a chance to win back-to-back games.

He is a die-hard NFL fan who cheers for the Detroit Lions. He has previously written fantasy football content for IDPGuys and ImportantNonsense.com.</address><h3 class="op-kicker">NFL</h3><figure class="op-ad"></figure></header><p>The Jacksonville Jaguars have had a dreadful start to the 2024 season. Jacksonville lost their first four games, which caused many fans to panic about the future of the franchise. Reporters even started <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/jaguars-hc-doug-pedersons-strange-reaction-to-job-status-question">asking Doug Pederson how he was feeling about his job security</a> before it was even October.</p><p>Thankfully, the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/jaguars-overreactions-first-win-of-season-vs-colts">Jaguars logged their first win of the season in Week 5</a> with a 37-34 win against the Colts. Now they have a chance to go on a winning streak if they can beat the Chicago Bears.</p><p>Chicago is 3-2 through five weeks with rookie QB Caleb Williams finally starting to look like a legit NFL signal caller in Week 5. Williams has certainly looked like a rookie for most of the 2024 season.</p><p>The real question is: has Caleb Williams arrived for good? Or does he still have a couple rookie mistakes in him that the Jaguars can exploit on Sunday?</p><p>Below we will discuss three Jaguars bold predictions ahead of their <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/jaguars-vs-bears-prediction-odds-pick-for-nfl-week-6-2024">important Week 6 matchup against the Bears</a> in London.</p><p><b>*Watch NFL games LIVE with fuboTV (</b><a href="https://www.fubo.tv/lp/football/?irad=356362&amp;irmp=492408"><b>click for free trial</b></a><b>)*</b></p><h2><b>Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence throws for more than 300 passing yards, but has multiple turnovers</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/Trevor-Lawrence-on-August-23-2024.jpg"><figcaption>Dale Zanine-USA TODAY Sports</figcaption></figure><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/jaguars-news-trevor-lawrence-signs-275-million-contract-extension">Trevor Lawrence signed a massive contract extension this offseason</a>, which has raised expectations in Jacksonville. Lawrence has yet to live up to that contract, but that does not mean that the Jaguars will not lean on him like their franchise guy.</p><p>The Bears have a stout defense, but they are not invincible. Their secondary in particular has enough holes that Lawrence should be able to pick them apart as long as he is willing to spread the ball around. Jacksonville would be wise to make full use out of Travis Etienne Jr.’s pass-catching ability against linebackers to gain an advantage on Sunday.</p><p>The Jaguars have also had some solid performances from Christian Kirk and Brian Thomas Jr. (more on him in a minute), who create unique problems for opposing defenses as a collective.</p><p>I have a feeling that Lawrence will do whatever it takes to get a win against Chicago and start Jacksonville’s comeback tour.</p><p>My prediction: Trevor Lawrence throws for more than 300 passing yards and three touchdowns against the Bears on Sunday. However, Lawrence’s confidence gets the better of him on a number of occasions, leading to at least two turnovers.</p><h2><b>Jaguars rookie WR Brian Thomas Jr. has another impressive performance against Bears</b></h2><p>The Jaguars made a risky move in the 2024 NFL Draft, neglecting the cornerback position <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/grading-brian-thomas-jr-s-2024-nfl-draft-landing-spot-with-jaguars">in favor of wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr</a>. Jacksonville desperately needs help at cornerback, which shows how much confidence they had when drafting Thomas Jr.</p><p>The young rookie out of LSU felt like a forgotten man during the pre-draft process. Other phenomenal rookie receivers like Marvin Harrison Jr., Malik Nabers, and Rome Odunze took most of the spotlight, leaving Thomas Jr. regarded as the fourth-best receiver in the draft.</p><p>However, that does not mean he isn’t a great wide receiver.</p><p>Thomas Jr. has become a crucial piece of Jacksonville’s offense, accumulating just under 400 receiving yards and three touchdowns in just five games. He went off against the Colts, hauling in an 85-yard touchdown and going for 122 yards in the win.</p><p>If he can continue getting better, the Jaguars will have an even more dangerous offense for opponents to deal with.</p><p>My prediction: Brian Thomas Jr. keeps his hot streak alive, going for over 100 receiving yards for the second game in a row. He also scores at least one touchdown.</p><h2><b>Joshua Hines-Allen, Jags defense rattles Caleb Williams into a sloppy game</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Jaguars-Josh-Allen.jpg"><figcaption>Corey Perrine/Florida Times-Unio / USA TODAY NETWORK</figcaption></figure><p>If the Jaguars have a chance of winning on Sunday, they will need a strong performance from their defense.</p><p>Chicago has a great defense of its own, which could put the Jaguars in an uncomfortable situation if they get down early. Thankfully the Jaguars have enough game wreckers on defense to swing the advantage back in their direction with a strong performance.</p><p>A lot of this responsibility falls on the front seven, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/jaguars-hc-doug-pederson-gives-josh-hines-allen-comparison-to-former-hall-of-fame-teammate">specifically Joshua Hines-Allen</a> and Travon Walker. The Jaguars have a chance to frazzle a rookie QB if they can get consistent pressure on him. This should be their top priority on defense heading into Week 6.</p><p>If the Jaguars can scramble Caleb Williams early, it becomes that much easier to beat the Bears.</p><p>My prediction: Joshua Hines-Allen and Travon Walker combine for at least three sacks and force Caleb Williams into at least one turnover. I also see them generating a ton of other pressure that keeps Caleb from getting into a solid rhythm. Jacksonville successfully defends their home away from home and get the victory in London.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The good news is the Jaguars should be able to run the ball well. Travis Etienne is questionable, but Tank Bigsby has been great this season. In his last two games, Bigsby has rushed for 191 yards on 20 carries, which comes out to 9.55 yards per rush. Do not expect that many yards per rush in this game, but a solid five yards per carry will go a long way for the Jaguars.</p><p>Trevor Lawrence is playing better than the Jaguars record suggests. He has thrown for 1,100 yards this season to go along with six touchdowns to just two interceptions. Lawrence has also been sacked just once in his last two games. That is not only a testament to him, but his offensive line, as well. If he stays upright in this game, Lawrence will be able to complete some passes and move the ball downfield.</p><p>Jacksonville is coming off a win, which was much needed. Three of their four losses this season came by less than five points. Two of those losses came in the last seconds of the game, so the Jaguars could easily by a 3-2 team. This is not a team to take lightly, and they should be able to give the Bears a tough battle.</p><h2><b>Why The Bears Could Cover The Spread/Win</b></h2><p>Caleb Williams has started to perform really well. He is just five games into his rookie year, but the potential is off the charts. In his last two games, Williams has completed 71.2 percent of his passes, thrown for 461 yards, and he has thrown three touchdowns. What is even more encouraging is he has thrown zero interceptions, and he has been sacked just four times in those two games. If Williams continues to play as he is, the Bears will win.</p><p>D’Andre Swift is another player that has started to play well for the Bears. In the last two games, Swift has 166 rush yards, 4.5 yards per carry, and two touchdowns. He has also been great in the passing game with 119 receiving yards. Having the run game is going to be huge, and the Bears need him to continue that in this game.</p><p>The talk of the season for the Bears is their defense. They allow the seventh-fewest yards per game, sixth-fewest pass yards per game, and fifth-fewest points per game. Chicago is very good with their pass defense. They have allowed just two passing touchdowns, and they have six interceptions as a team. The Bears are also the only team in the NFL to allow a quarterback rating under 70. They make teams one-dimensional against them, which is a big reason why they are 3-2. If their defense continues to be good, the Bears will win.</p><h2><b>Final Jaguars-Bears Prediction &amp; Pick</b></h2><p>This should actually end up being a pretty close game. I do think the Bears will come out on top, though. Chicago has a relentless defense. The Jaguars, on the other hand, are not as good defensively.

They’ll also be getting some help on defense soon, as cornerback Tyson Campbell has been <a href="https://x.com/TomPelissero/status/1844020843925627080" rel="noopener">designated to return</a> from injured reserve, opening up his 21-day practice window.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/jaguars-news-jacksonville-makes-tyson-campbell-injury-move">Campbell suffered a hamstring injury</a> earlier in the season, but it looks like he’s making progress on making a return soon. Last season, Campbell started 11 games for the Jaguars, as he recorded 60 tackles, an interception, and a forced fumble.</p><p>The Jaguars have not been the best on defense this season, and the hope is that whenever Campbell returns, he can uplift the unit with his play.</p><h2>Jaguars dealing with multiple injuries</h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Tyson-Campbell.jpg"><figcaption>Nathan Ray Seebeck-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Aside from Tyson Campbell, the Jaguars have several other injuries to some key players on the team. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/jaguars-news-evan-engram-concerning-week-5-injury-update">Evan Engram has been out since Week 1</a> with a hamstring injury, but signs are pointing to him returning against the Bears, according to head coach Doug Pederson.</p><p>“I think the chances of him getting back in here this week are pretty good,” Pederson said, per Schefter.</p><p>Travis Etienne was injured in Week 5, but <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/jaguars-news-doug-pederson-downplays-travis-etienne-injury-concerns">Pederson downplayed the severity</a>, as there’s hope that he won’t miss a game.</p><p>Though the defense has had its problems throughout the season, the offense has not been good either. It looked like they may have found something that worked against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 5, scoring 37 points and getting the win. If the Jaguars can get healthy in this next couple of weeks, they can get back on track after a 0-4 start to the season. Luckily for them, the Bears and the New England Patriots are winnable games, but it will be up to them to execute like they did last week and get the offense rolling.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

He has won multiple awards from the Pro Football Writers of America.</address><h3 class="op-kicker">Editorials</h3><figure class="op-ad"></figure></header><p>Robert Saleh is the NFL’s first coach fired in 2024, but he certainly won’t be the last.</p><p>It may be a bit of a surprise that Saleh was <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/jets-news-woody-johnson-breaks-silence-why-he-fired-robert-saleh">dismissed by the Jets</a> shortly after they lost to the undefeated Minnesota Vikings in London and that he didn’t get a chance to take the team to midseason, but his time was clearly short. Saleh had been in his fourth year with the Jets and there had been no progress on the offensive side of the ball.</p><p>Saleh had a major excuse last year when Aaron Rodgers went down in the first quarter of his first game with the Jets. The team was doomed to fail after that and it bought Saleh an extra year.</p><p>While he came in with a sharp reputation as an excellent defensive coordinator with the 49ers, Saleh never demonstrated the growth it takes to grab hold of an NFL team and deliver any kind of legitimate plan for winning.</p><p>The defense certainly was solid throughout the majority of his tenure, but the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/jets-news-aaron-rodgers-offense-draws-brutal-zach-wilson-comparison">offense never showed any signs of coming around</a>. The Jets won two of their first three games, but a home loss to the Denver Broncos and another defeat at the hands of the undefeated Vikings was too much for owner Woody Johnson to bear.</p><p>The thought behind the firing is that the Jets have plenty of time to turn things around in a flawed AFC East, and the Jets need some more decisiveness at the head coaching position. Owner Woody Johnson cited Jeff Ullrich’s command and leadership as a “tough coach” in naming him the interim leader of the team the rest of this NFL season.</p><h2><b>Doug Pederson is on thin ice in Jacksonville</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Doug-Pederson-is-short-on-answers-with-the-Jaguars.jpg"><figcaption>Mandatory Credit: Troy Taormina-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>There are several other coaches who may be set to follow Saleh on the firing line, and Jacksonville’s Doug Pederson does not have much rope left. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/jaguars-hc-doug-pedersons-strange-reaction-to-job-status-question">The Jaguars collapsed</a> last season after an 8-3 start and have only won one game this year.</p><p>They escaped with a 37-34 victory over the Colts in Week 5, and it was a win they were lucky to get. The Colts roared back from a 14-point fourth-quarter deficit to tie the score, with the Jaguars needing a <a href="https://www.espn.com/video/clip/_/id/41646710" rel="noopener">49-yard field goal</a> from rookie placekicker Cam Little in the final seconds to win the game.</p><p>Now the Jaguars go to London for a pair of games against the Chicago Bears and New England Patriots, and Pederson will almost certainly get the heave-ho if they lose both games. Even if they beat lowly New England, the Jaguars have four brutal games coming up against the Packers, Eagles, Vikings and Lions — and that will almost certainly end Pederson’s NFL tenure in Jacksonville.</p><p>“I don’t know that any of his players are listening to him because he doesn’t seem to have any answers at this point,” said one NFC general manager. “You see a good man in Pederson who gets decent results right away but then can’t really hold on after that. It happened in Philadelphia and it is happening now in Jacksonville.”</p><p>Much of the problem lies with quarterback Trevor Lawrence, who is supposed to be an upper-tier signal caller with elite physical talent. However, there does not appear to be much growth in his game. There is plenty of blame to go around — offensive coordinator Press Taylor and quarterbacks coach Mike McCoy are clearly involved — but it is the head man who always takes ultimate responsibility in the NFL.</p><h2><b>Quarterback woes have Kevin Stefanski grasping at straws</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Deshaun-Watsons-issues-at-quarterback-could-be-costly-for-Kevin-Stefanski.jpg"><figcaption>Jeff Lange / USA TODAY NETWORK</figcaption></figure><p>Kevin Stefanski is in a brutal situation in Cleveland because few quarterbacks are playing worse than Deshaun Watson. The quarterback has one of the most onerous contracts in the NFL — five years, $230 million — and the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/browns-news-172-million-deshaun-watson-problem">terms simply won’t allow the Browns</a> to get rid of him this year or next.</p><p>So what is Stefanski supposed to do with a quarterback who has yet to throw for 200 yards in a game this season?</p><p>Last year the Browns thrived with backup quarterback Joe Flacco after Watson went down with a fractured right shoulder socket, but he’s with the Colts this year. Jameis Winston is the backup, and his track record indicates that multiple mistakes are the likely result if he gets a chance to take over.</p><p>Many thought the Browns would battle the Ravens for the division title because of a dominating defense, but the team is 1-4 and seemingly going nowhere.</p><h2><b>McDermott and Taylor may last the season despite gaffes</b></h2><p>Sean McDermott of the Buffalo Bills and Zac Taylor of the Cincinnati Bengals are also on shaky ground considering their brutal in-game coaching decisions, but both men are likely to last the rest of the season and have a chance to right their ships.</p><p>McDermott’s biggest issue in his eighth season is his disappointing playoff record. He has suffered some painful regular-season losses often due to his <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/bills-news-sean-mcdermott-just-totally-blew-game-vs-texans">brutal clock management</a>, but the Bills have made it to the playoffs for five consecutive seasons and that will buy him time. If the Bills falter the rest of the way or go out in the Wild Card or Divisional Playoffs, McDermott could be facing an uncomfortable conversation with owner Terry Pegula.</p><p>Taylor and his Bengals came up with a maximum effort against the Ravens in Week 5 but still came out on the short end of a 41-38 overtime defeat. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/bengals-news-joe-burrow-new-career-high-explosion-ravens">Joe Burrow played a sensational game</a> as he threw for 392 yards and five touchdowns, but it was not enough.</p><p>The Bengals had a chance to win in overtime after recovering a Lamar Jackson fumble at the Baltimore 38. However, instead of attacking the Ravens, the Bengals settled for three consecutive interior running plays that netted three yards. The subsequent 53-yard field goal attempt by Evan McPherson failed when holder Ryan Rehkow could not place the ball properly on the ground.</p><p>It was a painful loss and the Bengals are reeling at 1-4, but Taylor should get the rest of the season to turn things around.</p><h2><b>This and that …</b></h2><p>— The Vikings ranked 28th in points allowed in 2022, and that defense was the main reason they were eliminated in the Wild Card Round of the playoffs by an ordinary New York Giants team. Brian Flores was hired as defensive coordinator after that and the Vikings improved to 13th in that category last year. The improvement has continued as the Vikings are fourth in points allowed at 15.2 per game. The Vikings lead the NFL with 11 interceptions and rank second in sacks with 20.</p><p>— After an ordinary start to his career with the Bears that saw Chicago lose two of its first three games, Caleb Williams is starting to get it. The Bears have won their last two games, and he was razor sharp in the 36-10 blowout of the Panthers. He completed 20 of 29 passes for 304 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions and no fumbles. Washington’s Jayden Daniels may be getting all the press for his brilliant start and that is fine with Williams. That takes a little bit of pressure off the No. 1 draft pick, and he is starting to thrive.</p><p>— <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/patriots-news-drake-maye-make-1st-nfl-start-texans">Drake Maye’s time</a> in New England is here. Jacoby Brissett was supposed to be a steadying influence for first-year head coach Jerod Mayo, but the ninth-year quarterback couldn’t stop the bleeding as the starter. He has completed just 58.5 percent of his passes for 696 yards, and that paltry 5.2 yards per pass is now leading him to the bench. The Patriots have lost four games in a row after a Week 1 upset of Cincinnati, but now it’s Maye’s team.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
