What did we see in the Jaguars' big win over the Saints in Week 7?
The Jacksonville Jaguars found a way to win on a short week in Week 7, knocking off the New Orleans Saints 31-24 to improve to 5-2.
"To sacrifice that for the football team says a lot about the character of these guys. I am so proud of them for doing that. Trevor’s obviously one of those guys. Kind of everything else goes away – the fact that they gutted it out and made the plays down the stretch that we needed to, bust a route in the end zone on fourth down. Jamal’s punt return, did a great job of anticipating that. The fake punt. Christian and his touchdown in the end.
Brown allowed a touchdown pass on a fade-type route to Michael Thomas in the second-half, but he also deflected an early Thomas end-zone target to force a Saints field goal in the first half. Then came fourth down, with Brown having a terrific one-on-one rep against Chris Olave. Brown felt a fade route coming and played it perfectly, giving Olave no room around the edge and then finding the ball in the air.
"It was one of those games where we see Calvin as more of a deep threat. He is good in the short-to-intermediate areas as well. Last night, they rolled some coverage his way so they clouded some coverage, they inverted some coverage his way," Pederson said. Take away Christian Kirk's 44-yard touchdown and the Jaguars' three kneel-downs, and the Jaguars ran 19 plays for 64 yards in the second-half -- just a 3.36 yard per play average. Pederson said after the game that it was due to strong defense more than anything that limited them, but the Jaguars need to figure out some kind of way to play an entire game on offense. Their inability to play with a lead has showed up big in the last two weeks.
