The Jaguars’ Week 1 loss against the Houston Texans on Sunday was perhaps as disappointing of an affair that they could have had, especially considering the expectations surrounding both squads.
Offensively and defensively, Jacksonville just didn’t seem to get into any sort of rhythm throughout the entire contest. While, certainly, there are some good things to take away from the team - the run defense, and quarterback Trevor Lawrence’s flashes in particular -, it was clear there needed to be a re-do of sorts as the team continues through the year.
The reaction to the team’s loss was understandable, but the team’s 1-15 record, coupled with the brand-new coaching staff and plenty of new players, it shouldn’t have been too big of a surprise that things didn’t go completely as planned.
