The first-year coach of the now-contending Jaguars let it all hang out after a comeback upset of Dallas—one of the lessons he took to heart during his year off.
As the ball bounced off the midsection of Cowboys receiver Noah Brown and back into the waiting arms of Rayshawn Jenkins, the Jaguars’ safety covered the remaining 52 yards of grass in front of him for a game-winning pick-six. His first-year coach, Doug Pederson, really didn’t have to think twice.
As Pederson’s Jaguars players spilled onto the field, he went with them. As they piled on each other, he threw his headset in the air.
