Game that was: “We're going to get better…” - jaguars.com

Head coach Urban Meyer said he needed to spend time with the tape before offering a more detailed analysis of his rookie quarterback.

"On Thursday he was 25 of 25 or 25 of 26; had a great Thursday practice," Meyer said. "I saw what happened on that first drive what happened in practice but after that it was just a hundred and a handful of yards. I see a very good leader, an exceptional talent and hopefully a guy the game is going to start slowing down for more and more as he gets more reps."

The Jaguars remain without a takeaway after two games this season. Cornerback Shaq Griffin barely missed an interception for a second consecutive week, defensing a long pass from Broncos quarterback Teddy Bridgewater and nearly intercepting once, twice and three times as he hit the ground. "It's a tad bit frustrating," he said with a grin. "When I punched the ball up, I tried to be gentle and let it fall into my hands and soon as I hit the ground it just bounced up. Then I had another one. I don't know, maybe the ball is mad at me. I'm going to grab a football, take it home, talk to it, play with it. I've got to figure out something because something ain't right. If the ball hits my hands, I've got to keep it. I've got to do more in practice so when the ball is in the air I know it's mine. It's something I have to focus on and do better with."

NOTABLE II

Meyer and all players who addressed the media after the game Sunday supported kicker Josh Lambo, who missed field goals of 52 and 48 yards. "Just keep going man, it's going to happen," Lawrence said when asked what he said to Lambo after one of the misses. "All of us have made some mistakes, I've had quite a few the first two weeks so just go and make the next one. I know as a kicker that's tough; everything is on you making that kick. I know how he feels. Good or bad, we're all in it together."
