perseverance

The Jaguars’ season may be rocky, but their determination remains firm. Head Coach Doug Pederson has consistently emphasized resilience, even as the team faces the frustration of close losses. “They keep grinding,” Pederson said, echoing the mindset shared by Quarterback Mac Jones, who pointed out that every week brings a fresh opportunity to improve. The Jaguars, currently 2-8, are preparing for a tough matchup against the NFC North-leading Detroit Lions. Despite losing their last three games by narrow margins, including final-minute losses to NFC playoff contenders, the team is pushing forward, focused on perseverance and growth.

Safety Andre Cisco, who has experienced similar seasons before, highlighted the importance of maintaining a positive outlook. “You just want to keep working and deal with adversity as you need to,” he said. As they trail the AFC South-leading Texans, the Jaguars are well aware of the long road ahead but are committed to taking it “week by week, day by day,” hopeful that their hard work will eventually pay off.
