The situation with the Jacksonville Jaguars in the NFL season is quite complex, especially after a tough loss inflicted by the Chicago Bears during their recent trip to London. After the game, safety Andre Cisco stated that he felt some teammates quit before it was over. In response, head coach Doug Pederson made his stance clear.
Ending Week 6 with a record of 1-5 is far from pleasant, especially when the internal atmosphere is not at its best. Cisco expressed in a post-game interview, “How should I say this… A lot of quit.”
Naturally, these comments quickly resonated within the franchise, which is still struggling to find its footing this season. Head coach Doug Pederson, who is under scrutiny, addressed these remarks directly.
According to ESPN’s Michael DiRocco, Pederson stated: “Obviously it’s his observation, but I don’t think it was necessarily meant to harm anything or point a finger at anybody or anything like that,” the Jaguars coach said.

“I think sometimes when you get in a game like yesterday, that sometimes is the feeling. We’ve been on the other side of that too, where we’ve had games where we felt like we’ve had that type of success and you feel that way with your opponent. But again, I don’t think it was necessarily a finger-pointing.” Pederson finally concluded.

The Jaguars and an unpleasant situation
After six weeks in the NFL, one of the major disappointments of the season has undoubtedly been the Jacksonville Jaguars. With just one win so far, the team, led by Trevor Lawrence, has struggled to find answers on both offense and defense.
In the near horizon for the Jaguars are the New England Patriots, the other team with the same record. This matchup will undoubtedly be the last chance for both teams to turn around their disappointing season or definitively end any hopes for recovery.
