Atlanta Falcons vs. Jacksonville Jaguars GAMEDAY: How to Watch, Betting Odds
The Atlanta Falcons head to London to play the Jacksonville Jaguars at Wembley Stadium in the first of five international NFL games this season.
Jacksonville is technically the home team on Sunday, but its true home field at EverBank Stadium has been anything but an advantage.
“It’s a chance for us to reset a little bit and regroup to try to get back on track,” Jaguars coach Doug Pederson said. “We’re doing everything together as one of those bonding types of experiences as a football team and as coaches.”
The Jags gave up four sacks to the Chiefs in Week 2, fumbled the ball three times, and went 4 or 14 on third and fourth downs. Last week to the winless Texans, Jacksonville receiver Calvin Ridley dropped two scores, while the offense also turned the ball over twice.
Atlanta Falcons quarterback Desmond Ridder and Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence.
“There’s no sense of panic,” Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence said. “I wouldn’t say guys aren’t concerned because that’s not the right word. But we care a lot about what we do so there is some concern when you don’t play well and you put a lot of work in.”
Things aren't much better in Atlanta, as they tallied just 183 yards total offense including just 44 on the ground last week to Detroit. Quarterback Desmond Ridder was sacked seven times in the 20-6 loss.
“It’s your job and intent to score every time you get it,” Atlanta coach Arthur Smith said. “So if something’s not working, you have to continue to look for solutions and things you can do better.”
