"Obviously we've lost some games here, so we want to change that culture to a winning culture," Pederson said Monday morning via Zoom from London."That's why we coach and that's why we play. ... These guys bust their tails during the week and I don't want them to feel, even though we haven't won yet, I don't want them to feel sort of mentally defeated, if that makes sense, because that's where the slippery slope comes in.
"If you feel like you're going into a game where you don't have a chance, then you're not going to have a chance. You're not going to give yourself an opportunity to win that game."at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London on Sunday. That was the Jaguars' 10th loss in their past 12 games dating back to Dec. 4, 2023.
"Obviously it's his observation, but I don't think it was necessarily meant to harm anything or point a finger at anybody or anything like that," Pederson said."I think sometimes when you get in a game like yesterday, that sometimes is the feeling. We've been on the other side of that too, where we've had games where we felt like we've had that type of success and you feel that way with your opponent.
