Coach Accepts the Blame
Jaguars coach Liam Coen placed the responsibility for the team's three delay of game penalties squarely on himself after the contest with the Eagles. He told players the infractions were directly on him and committed to delivering playcalls faster while trimming some of the language used in critical situations.
Penalties Disrupt Key Moments
The first delay of game came on the opening drive and turned a holding penalty and sack into second-and-40. The drive finished at the 5-yard line following an incomplete pass to Jakobi Meyers, with Trevor Lawrence showing frustration after the second flag.
Adjustments for Wembley
Coen pointed to the loud atmosphere at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium as a factor and said he will simplify calls, especially near the end zone, to avoid repeats. The Jaguars had never drawn more than one such penalty in a game during his tenure and had only four total across the prior three-season span.
