The Jacksonville Jaguars have traveled across the Atlantic for their two-week stint in London, starting with a match against the Chicago Bears on Sunday. The game kicks off at 9:30 a.m. Eastern time at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
After ending their losing streak last week with a victory over the Indianapolis Colts, the Jaguars (1-4) are looking to build on that momentum. Quarterback Trevor Lawrence achieved a new career high in passing yards in the previous game, and the team recorded three plays of over 60 yards, marking only the second time in franchise history that this has happened.
The Bears (3-2) are coming off an impressive win against the Carolina Panthers last week. Chicago’s quarterback, Caleb Williams, is also a former No. 1 draft pick and has previous training ties to the Jacksonville area.
However, the Jaguars faced a tough challenge in their matchup against the Bears, suffering a heavy loss of 35-16. Safety Andre Cisco struggled to articulate his feelings after the defeat, which highlighted the team’s dwindling confidence and inability to overcome adversity.
Despite a brief spark in the second half when Lawrence threw a touchdown pass, the Jaguars’ offense ultimately fell short. The team has now dropped to a dismal 1-5 record, and their season appears to be spiraling out of control.
In the game, the Jaguars’ defense faltered during crucial moments, allowing Chicago to capitalize on turnovers and penalties. Running back Travis Etienne was also injured, adding to the team’s struggles.
Fan reactions on social media reflected disappointment after the Jaguars’ inability to seize momentum early. With another match scheduled in London against the New England Patriots next week, the Jaguars will need to regroup quickly to address their ongoing issues.
