WATFORD, England — The Jacksonville Jaguars are gearing up to take on the New England Patriots after facing a disheartening 35-16 defeat to the Chicago Bears. Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence addressed the media, emphasizing the need to quickly move past the loss. He stated, “You just have to be able to move on quickly in this league — wins or losses.” The team is now focused on their upcoming game at Wembley Stadium, which is scheduled for Sunday.
Reflecting on the Bears game, Lawrence noted that several factors contributed to the team’s struggles, such as turnovers, missed opportunities, penalties, and blown coverages. This recent loss has left the Jaguars with a disappointing record of 1-5. “Part of it is keeping the spirits up. Obviously, you stay focused and you stay locked in now more than ever, but you also have to have fun. It’s still a game,” he commented, stressing the importance of enjoying the sport they play. He added that maintaining a positive mindset can enhance their performance as they strive for improvement.
While the Bears game was tough, it wasn’t even the Jaguars’ worst outing this season, as they were overwhelmed by the Buffalo Bills in a Week 3 clash that ended 47-10. On a brighter note, the Jaguars are hopeful for the return of cornerback Tyson Campbell, who has been sidelined since the season opener due to a hamstring injury. Coach Doug Pederson mentioned that Campbell will practice this week, and a decision about his availability for the upcoming match will be made soon. “That changes some things, and just adds another body, another really good corner that can help us,” he explained, noting the added flexibility the team would gain from Campbell’s return.
In roster updates, the Jaguars recently traded defensive lineman Roy Robertson-Harris to the Seattle Seahawks for a sixth-round draft pick in 2026. Pederson acknowledged that while it was a beneficial opportunity for both the player and the team, he does not foresee a major overhaul of the roster at this time, stating, “You’re always open to conversations and phone calls but I don’t anticipate anything like that.”
Furthermore, there has been some discussion regarding comments made by safety Andre Cisco following the game. Cisco remarked to local media that he sensed “a lot of quit” from the defense and mentioned they “weren’t playing as one” after halftime. Pederson recognized that Cisco is a passionate leader who sometimes expresses his feelings in the heat of the moment but emphasized that he did not intend to direct blame at teammates. “I get the emotional side of it. He obviously will learn from this. His teammates will rally around. They’re not looking at him any different,” Pederson stated, promoting unity within the team.
As the Jaguars prepare for their next game, they are striving to regroup, learn from past mistakes, and approach the Patriots with a renewed sense of purpose. Their focus now is on turning their season around one game at a time.
