London – The Jacksonville Jaguars suffered another loss abroad, falling 35-7 against the Los Angeles Rams at Wembley Stadium. This defeat marked the Jaguars’ second consecutive loss, leaving them with a record of 4-3 after an impressive 4-1 start to the season.
Quarterback Matthew Stafford led the Rams to victory, completing 21 of 33 passes for 182 yards and an impressive five touchdown passes, three of which were thrown in the first half. The Rams scored touchdowns on three of their first four drives, quickly establishing a 21-0 lead by halftime. Rookie wide receiver Komata Mumpfield opened the scoring with a 5-yard touchdown pass from Stafford, followed by a 2-yard touchdown pass to Davante Adams. Stafford later added second-half touchdowns to tight end Terrance Ferguson (31 yards) and to Adams (1 yard).
In contrast, Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence struggled against the Rams’ defense, completing 23 of 48 passes for 296 yards, one touchdown, and no interceptions. Lawrence’s touchdown came in the fourth quarter, a 34-yard pass to rookie Travis Hunter, marking Hunter’s first NFL touchdown. Hunter finished strong with eight receptions for 101 yards, all achieved in the second half. The Jaguars’ ground game contributed a total of 92 rushing yards, with running back Travis Etienne Jr. rushing for 44 yards on eight carries.
The Jaguars’ performance was notably hampered in the first half as they managed only 126 yards of total offense and six first downs. They faced discipline issues, committing 13 penalties for 119 yards. Their defense was unable to register any sacks or takeaways against the Rams, compounding their struggles throughout the game.
Jaguars head coach Liam Coen acknowledged the team’s need for improvement, expressing that the game was frustrating for both the players and coaching staff. The Rams improved their record to 5-2 and will enjoy a bye week following this victory, while the Jaguars are left to regroup as they enter their own bye week at one game over .500.
Injuries also impacted the Jaguars, with safety Eric Murray and wide receiver Tim Patrick leaving the game and not returning. However, center Robert Hainsey made his return from injury to start in the game.
The Jaguars now face a critical reassessment of their performance as they prepare for their upcoming games. Coach Coen indicated that self-scouting in all facets of the game will begin during their flight home, aiming to address the execution and discipline issues that have plagued the team. After a promising start to the season, the Jaguars must now refocus and ensure that they do not lose momentum as they approach the latter half of the season.
