The road trip is over and the Jaguars are back as a much different team.
Travis Etienne Jr. of the Jacksonville Jaguars celebrates a touchdown during the NFL Match between Jacksonville Jaguars and Buffalo Bills at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on October 08, 2023 in London, England. When the Jaguars left for London, they were reeling, saddled with a two-game losing streak and looking much more like a team regressing than one that was moving forward. But the change of scenery helped.
The Jaguars returned home from London with a two-game winning streak and some fresh momentum. No NFL team had played in London in back-to-back weeks until Jacksonville had a home game against the Falcons at Wembley Stadium and an away game against the Bills at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Pederson said on Sunday that he thought an arrangement like that — Jacksonville playing a home and an away game in London — could continue in the future.
The Jaguars did well enough to win against the Colts in Week 1, then played terribly in losses to the Chiefs and Texans after that. The London trip was a bit of a reset from all kinds of vantage points. Pederson said the bonding time was real and it was meaningful. Offensively, Jacksonville was inconsistent against Atlanta in Week 4, but it showed progress against the Bills in some key areas. The Jaguars entered that game ranked 29th in the league in third down success rate .with 3 minutes, 15 seconds to play. That throw was arguably the prettiest of the season for Lawrence, beautiful slot fade that Ridley brought in for 32 yards. Etienne broke off a 35-yard touchdown run two plays later.
