JACKSONVILLE \u2013 Call this one a good start.<\/p>\n

Cornerback Jourdan Lewis and linebacker Foye Oluokun made clear on Sunday that’s all the 2025 regular-season opener<\/a> was \u2013 and that much work must be done beyond an impressive Jaguars victory and an encouraging defensive performance. But make no mistake:<\/p>\n

As starts go, this was close to ideal.<\/p>\n

“That’s damned good defense,” Head Coach Liam Coen said<\/a>, with quarterback Trevor Lawrence adding, “Our defensive played great.”<\/p>\n

The Jaguars on Sunday held the Carolina Panthers to 255 yards and 15 first downs in a 26-10 victory at EverBank Stadium. They registered one sack with three takeaways after finishing 32nd in the NFL with nine takeaways \u2013 eight defensively \u2013 in 2024.<\/p>\n

“If everybody’s on the same page, we can be a very dangerous defense,” Oluokun said<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Coen called Sunday’s turnovers “huge.”<\/p>\n

“To get three in one game is probably a good start,” Coen said.<\/p>\n

The Jaguars, after allowing a field goal on the opening Carolina drive, did not allow another score until Panthers quarterback Bryce Young completed a 27-yard swing pass to running back Chuba Hubbard. That made it 23-10, Jaguars, with 4:47 remaining.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"JACKSONVILLE \u2013 Call this one a good start.
