Del Rio downplays Jacksonville homecoming

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Jack Del Rio laughed off the question.

The Raiders’ head coach has a swagger about him, so surely reporters can do better than ask him about his feelings about returning to Jacksonville for the first time and walking the opposing sideline. (Del Rio coached the Jaguars for nine years before getting fired in 2011.)

“I’ve been in this league a long time, so I’ve gone back to a few places before,” Del Rio said. It’s not the first time going back to places where I’ve been. So yeah, I think I’ll be OK.”

Ask him next week, after Sunday’s game, and you might get a different answer.
