Postgame heat flared when Robert Saleh and Liam Coen exchanged heated words after Jacksonville’s 26-21 win, sparked by Saleh’s claim that the Jaguars «legally stealing signals» is a strength. Kyle Shanahan downplayed the moment, insisting Saleh meant a compliment and that nothing illegal was involved. Trevor Lawrence steered the Jaguars with restraint, aided by a plus-four turnover margin, while players and coaches kept focus on execution ahead of the next matchup.

Aireontae Ersery’s rookie start in Houston has been a crash course in the NFL’s hunt for consistency. He admits a rough debut and three tough weeks, with three sacks allowed, 11 pressures and three penalties. Still, he insists the finer points—hands, setup, and communication—will click with more reps and study, and the Texans agree he’s trending upward.

coaches push him to stay sharp in practice and situational reps as he faces an even stiffer test in Week 4 against Tennessee. The focus is on mental fortitude and technique under pressure, turning early adversity into growth for a first-year O-lineman.

In Week 4, the San Francisco 49ers’ Trent Williams faces a stern test from Jacksonville’s Josh Hines-Allen, a rising force who has sparked pressure in recent seasons. Williams has climbed back into the top tier after a rough start, while Hines-Allen’s 25.5 sacks over two seasons signals a surge in disruption. The clash could tilt the game’s outcome and reveal Williams’ remaining peak ability.

Beyond this duel, the piece notes the broader edge-war around San Francisco—Nick Bosa’s career benchmark versus Williams’ current form, and the varied styles of Granderson and Sweat as contrasting accelerants. The Week 4 matchup will illuminate Williams’ current ceiling and whether Jacksonville’s plan can erase his dominance or expose a potential decline.

Jacksonville's Week 3 win came via a defense that thrives on turnovers and a flexible, aggressive scheme. Campbell credits a concept that blends varied coverages and fronts, letting the defense play freely and attack the ball. The result is a unit that punishes mistakes and creates chances for fantasy points through sacks, picks, and forced fumbles.

Hines-Allen and Walker set the tone with sustained pressure that eases coverage, while a late tipped ball by Hines-Allen and Antonio Johnson's game-sealing grab underscored the defense's collaborative finish. The Jaguars' plan amplifies fantasy upside for the unit and for opportunistic playmakers across the lineup.
