The bye week is here for the 4-2 Jacksonville Jaguars, so with added time to rest and reevaluate where things stand, what are the priorities going to be for Liam Coen's team?
On Monday, when speaking with local media members, Coen discussed two areas of emphasis, one of which is situational football.
This can include two-minute or end-of-half situations as well as how the Jaguars perform on third downs and in the red zone.
"You can not rep enough situational football," Coen said. "You don't have enough time in the day to do it, but emphasizing it as we're in our second year together, that's what I mean about the beauty of simplicity in all three phases allows you to work on more situational football."

The other area of focus will be on cleaning up the self-inflicted mistakes. After a strong start to the season penalty-wise, the Jaguars are now one of the more heavily penalized teams in football over the last three weeks.
"Playing clean in terms of the self-inflicted things," Coen added. "Whether it's fundamentals and techniques of blocking and playing coverage and man coverage. Like hey, we're at the point of attack and we can't tug, it could be called, it could not be called. And so fundamentally sharp. Being fundamentally sharp throughout the course of the week to be able to provide that on Sundays."
Winning in the NFL is difficult, and the margins between winning and losing are razor thin. Being more efficient in these areas mentioned by Coen could end up being what differentiates the Jaguars in any close games during the second half of the season.
