Liam Coen’s Jaguars showed total control in a 25–3 dismantling of the Titans

The Jaguars didn’t just outscore Tennessee, they out-executed them on every snap. Liam Coen built drives through precision and structure, while the defense created pressure lanes that never allowed the Titans to settle.

Liam Coen’s offensive sequencing finally matched Jacksonville’s defensive precision

Jacksonville’s offense scripted 15 plays that isolated Tennessee’s linebackers in coverage and set the tone early. Trevor Lawrence’s stat line backed the plan: 16-of-27 for 229 yards and two touchdowns without a turnover. Three of the Jaguars’ first four scoring drives started with an under-center run look and ended with a short pass over zone rotation.

Coen repeatedly used condensed formations to draw single-high coverage, then created spacing with quick outs and crossers. Tennessee’s defense shifted to nickel by the second quarter, and Jacksonville immediately countered with heavier personnel groupings and play-action. The Titans never forced a three-and-out until late in the third quarter.

Josh Hines-Allen’s pressure broke Tennessee’s protection calls

Josh Hines-Allen forced two sacks and three quarterback hits by attacking communication gaps between Tennessee’s guards and tackles. On his first sack, he lined up wide, then looped inside behind a delayed A-gap pressure from Devin Lloyd. The Titans slid protection toward the blitz, and Hines-Allen came free.

Two drives later, Jacksonville disguised the same look, this time Lloyd dropped under a quick slant, forcing Cam Ward to pull the ball down into another sack. Those mirrored pressures weren’t improvisation. They were deliberate setups repeated until Tennessee ran out of counter-calls.

Trevor Lawrence and Jakobi Meyers exposed Tennessee’s zone spacing

Meyers caught six passes for 90 yards and a score, all in the short-to-intermediate windows Tennessee left open. Four came on second down, each converting a new set of downs. Lawrence read Cover 2 looks pre-snap and attacked the soft spot between the corner and safety using option routes.

The Jaguars ran mesh and dagger concepts on consecutive series in the second quarter, both springing Meyers free off play-action motion. His 50-yard catch in the third quarter came against man coverage, where he won inside leverage with a stutter release. Lawrence hit him in rhythm before the safety rotated. Those routes forced the Titans to drop a linebacker into hook zones, opening seams later for Brenton Strange and Parker Washington.

Travis Etienne’s production looked limited, but his usage shaped the defense

Etienne’s 12 carries for 28 yards don’t show how often he redirected Tennessee’s coverage rules. On seven snaps, he motioned wide from the backfield, forcing the Titans to declare man coverage and shifting their nickel alignment. That exposed lighter fronts for Lawrence to exploit with quick throws.

When Etienne stayed in, he ran zone plays designed to set up bootlegs, not gain chunk yardage. On one first-quarter sequence, Jacksonville ran inside zone, then followed with the same alignment on a naked rollout to Jakobi Meyers for 21 yards. Coen used Etienne as the read key that shaped every linebacker movement, and the offense followed those cues.

Jacksonville’s 25-3 win wasn’t about tempo or flow. It was about design repetition, film discipline, and players executing calls exactly as drawn. Every snap looked rehearsed, and every mismatch was intentional, the kind of performance that wins December football.
