NFL Week 6 live updates: scores, stats, highlights, analysis, schedule, Bears-Jaguars takeaways

The Jaguars have had some shocking events in London, but this could be the worst.

This season’s roster was heralded by owner Shahid Khan as the best ever assembled in franchise history.

“Dear players. Dear coaches. But most importantly: let’s prove it by winning now,” he said in an internal documentary during a training camp.

This week, Khan told the Jacksonville Florida Times-Union that he “still believes” in head coach Doug Pederson and general manager Trent Baalke. After falling to 1-5, it’s increasingly looking like a leap of faith from Khan, who has let go of three head coaches — Gus Bradley, Doug Marrone and Urban Meyer — during his reign.

Yes, Hurricane Milton delayed the team’s departure, but this was a mess in all three phases. Trevor Lawrence was harassed all afternoon and four touchdown passes were dropped. Before the game, the Jags ranked 31st in defense, 32nd against the pass and 30th in points allowed. Based on this evidence, they may not be that good.

Add eight penalties for 43 yards — much of it self-inflicted, costly, like a 12-man on-field penalty to wipe out Travon Walker’s sack in the third quarter — and the disaster was complete.

Next up for Jacksonville is a weeklong autopsy and a home game at Wembley against the New England Patriots. I can’t wait. (edited)
