Coach speak: Eagles 29, Jaguars 21

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. – Senior writer John Oehser examines Head Coach Doug Pederson’s postgame press conference following the Jaguars’ 29-21 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in a 2022 Week 4 game at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, Pa., Sunday

1. Turnovers really hurt Sunday … Sometimes, a theme bears repeating. Sunday was such a time for the Jaguars, and Pederson returned to quarterback Trevor Lawrence‘s five turnovers – an interception and four lost fumbles – multiple times in his postgame press conference.

He also was sacked four times with three hits after not being sacked in Weeks 2 and 3.

3. More Pederson on Lawrence. Pederson said he spoke to Lawrence about the turnovers “during the game, told him we just have to keep fighting, keep pushing and plugging away. He understands. He knows. He’s a professional. It’s just something we have to continue to work on with him and with everybody, with everybody that touches the football. We’re going to be good; we’re going to be okay; you know we’ll be fine. We will learn from this and make the…
