""That's something we definitely need to talk about as a staff and as a group," coach Liam Coen said after watching his team blow a 19-point fourth-quarter lead to Houston and backup quarterback Davis Mills. "That hasn't been good enough all season and wasn't good enough [Sunday]." "It's never one group's fault when you lose a game. That's not what we're going to do here, but it definitely is a challenge for us.""
""The Jaguars did sack Mills twice Sunday, but one of those was safety Antonio Johnson running Mills out of bounds. In the fourth quarter, however, they didn't record a sack or pressure. Which is a big reason the Texans were able to score 26 points and hand the Jaguars their first loss in 65 games in which they had a lead of 18 or more points.""
The Jaguars failed to consistently pressure quarterbacks without blitzing, a shortfall that surfaced in a 36-29 loss after surrendering a 19-point fourth-quarter lead to the Texans. Jacksonville recorded two sacks on Davis Mills, but one came when a safety ran him out of bounds, and no sacks or pressures occurred in the fourth quarter. Houston scored 26 fourth-quarter points to complete the comeback, marking Jacksonville's first loss in 65 games when leading by 18 or more. Coach Liam Coen called pass-rush production a season-long issue and said the staff will review tape and address defensive calls and assignments.
