Liam Coen Sends a Message to Jaguars Offense

A lot went wrong for the Jacksonville Jaguars in their Week 6 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. This game was practically a toss-up, according to the sportsbooks, but Jacksonville was feeling good going into this one. They were coming off a statement upset over Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs.

They were an impressive 4-1 on the season, with their lone loss coming against the Cincinnati Bengals and backup quarterback Jake Browning, who led an unlikely 90-yard game-winning drive after the Jaguars picked him off three times.

Through the first five weeks of the 2025 NFL season, Trevor Lawrence was one of the most well-protected quarterbacks in the entire league. That changed against the Seattle Seahawks and their lethal pass rush. The Jacksonville Jaguars were without center Robert Hainsey and tight end Brenton Strange, which certainly didn't help matters, but the entire offensive line played poorly.

Seattle was able to dominate in the trenches, negating Jacksonville's ground game, keeping T-Law contained, and preventing big plays from developing downfield despite its injury-riddled secondary. Head Coach Liam Coen was asked how he can help the offensive line step up moving forward:
