Jaguars HC Urban Meyer: Loss to Bengals 'devastating, heartbreaking'

Urban Meyer and Trevor Lawrence are still looking for their first NFL win after the Jacksonville Jaguars could not close out a win against the Cincinnati Bengals Thursday night.

Despite holding a 14-0 lead at halftime, the Jaguars allowed the Bengals to get back in the game with touchdowns on their first drives of the second half. Cincinnati won 24-21 courtesy of an Evan McPherson 35-yard game-winning field goal. 

"It's devastating, heartbreaking," Meyer told reporters after the game, according to Pro Football Talk. "Usually I'm not wrong about stuff like that that I just see a good team in there. I see good guys, good hearts. I see guys at work and I told them I'm not wrong about that stuff. This team is going to win some games."

The Jaguars are now 0-4 on the season, and Meyer is learning fast that wins are difficult to come by in the NFL. If he can't right the ship in the coming weeks, it's hard not to think he could be out of a job.

While Meyer has been unimpressive on the bench, Lawrence has been just that on the field. He has completed just 57% of his passes for 873 yards and five touchdowns against an NFL-leading seven interceptions.

If the Jags hope to get their first win of the season against the Tennessee Titans next weekend, they'll need everyone to step up.
