James Johnson and Phil Barrera bring you the best and most up to date Jacksonville Jaguars news. "Touchdown Jaguars!" is a tribute to the prospective ownership group "Touchdown Jacksonville!" In 1991, the NFL announced plans to add two expansion teams and "Touchdown Jacksonville!" announced its bid for a team, and Jacksonville was ultimately chosen as one of five finalists. In November 1993, the NFL owners voted 26–2 in favor of awarding the 30th franchise to Jacksonville. James and Phil have been fans of the franchise ever since and have had the honor (and sometimes dishonor) of covering the team professionally since 2017. The rest as they say, is history.

Two straight wins change more than the standings; they change how we carry ourselves. The Jags went over to the West Coast and handled business against a beat up 49ers team that is still a very respectable unit. They did this by matching San Francisco’s physical edge, turning special teams into a weapon, and playing complimentary football in the end.

With a lot to unpack, we discussed multiple topics after the Jags 26-21 victory, including the following talking points:

• Devin Lloyd’s all-field surge and leadership

• Liam Coen’s culture-setting moment with Robert Saleh

• Anthony Campanile and Co. bullying the 49ers offensive line

• Parker Washington’s game-changing punt return and special teams swing

• Trevor Lawrence's mental miscues

• The ongoing issue with penalties

• What do we need to see Monday vs. KC

• Are the Jags back?

The Jaguars secure a gritty 17-10 divisional win against the Texans, improving to 2-1 despite offensive struggles as the defense continues its remarkable transformation under Anthony Campanile.

• Defense has already forced nine turnovers in three games, including seven interceptions (more than their entire 2023 season total)
• Defensive standouts include Jourdan Lewis, Tyson Campbell's crucial strip of Nico Collins, and Josh Hines-Allen who is one of the NFL’s leaders in pressures
• Devin Lloyd has experienced a career revival, showing vastly improved all-around play
• Trevor Lawrence (20/40, 222 yards, INT) showed resilience despite offensive struggles, including a key audible from run to pass for a 40+ yard connection with Brian Thomas Jr.
• Brenton Strange emerging as a consistent threat with 6 catches for 61 yards, becoming Lawrence's most reliable target
• Offensive issues include continued drops from receivers and frustrating penalties that killed drives
• Cultural shift under Liam Coen evident in team unity, transparent communication, and players' refusal to point fingers after mistakes

The team now faces a significant test with a West Coast trip to San Francisco, where they'll look to overcome their historical struggles when playing on the Pacific coast.

The Jaguars fall to the Bengals 31-27 in a gut-wrenching loss where poor execution and self-inflicted wounds outweighed some promising developments. Despite creating three turnovers and getting strong performances from their running backs, Jacksonville couldn't overcome penalties and struggles in pass coverage.

• Brian Thomas Jr's concerning struggles
• Preventable penalties continue to plague the team with multiple illegal shift infractions
• Tyson Campbell struggling against elite receivers like Ja'Marr Chase
• Travis Etienne and Bhayshul Tuten looking impressive in Liam Coen's offensive system
• Parker Washington emerging as a reliable target (5 catches, 76 yards, 91.1 PFF grade)
• Defense creating turnovers (3 interceptions) but struggling in other areas
• Critical divisional matchup against the Texans (0-2) coming up next week

Join us next week with the full crew as we break down the Texans game and see if the Jaguars can address these issues and get back in the win column.
