Press Pass | Pederson: "We came over here 1-2 and we're going back 3-2."

SPEAKER_1 (0:00)

Can you talk a little bit about, even despite the fumbles that Trevor did have today, could you talk about his toughness and getting some really clutch sideline throws for Ridley as well?

Doug Pederson (0:10)

Yeah, Trevor played extremely tough today, physical. And he's done that all season, he's done that before. Obviously a great leader that way.

And he does what it takes to win that down. And he had to use his legs today, he played physical as well, it's a couple of weeks in a row.

SPEAKER_1 (0:31)

At the end after the game, I saw you pumping the fist to the crowd, I'm assuming it was somebody you knew.

Doug Pederson (0:36)

Oh, yeah, and my friends that were sitting up there. The only five people I had here.

SPEAKER_1 (0:42)

You don't normally always pump your fist after a game, I just wanted to, did this game, this opponent?

Doug Pederson (0:47)

Did it feel like there was extra juice added to this win? I think that, listen, these games are emotional, man.

They're hard fought, both teams are straining, the players are straining, guys are putting their bodies on the line, and coaches and the whole thing, and obviously we're not out there playing, but we're part of it, and we feel it, and we feel the emotion, and it's okay to let your emotion and everything show every now and then, and I know I try to keep things in too much, but maybe I should show that emotion a little bit more. But I was very proud of our guys, the way they hung in there for 60 minutes in this football game. So I'll fist pump after every one of those.

SPEAKER_3 (1:31)

Can you talk about the 32-yard completion on third down and six from Trevor when he threw the ball up there? Cam wasn't there, the pressure was coming, and that seemed as big a play as any in the entire game.

Doug Pederson (1:42)

You know, again, it's the offense, it's Trevor, it's everybody being on the same page. It's our offensive staff preparing our guys for situations like that. Jack McCoy, having Trevor ready in those situations to make that call, you know, to see the blitz, to audible the route.

Great throw, great catch. You know, we needed it to really, you know, maybe not ice the game, but at least help us win this football game.

SPEAKER_3 (2:09)

It seemed from about six minutes left in the second quarter that the Bills were surging, that they were grabbing momentum.

Previous Jaguars teams wouldn't have held it off. What happened today? What was the mindset that kept them in it, and they had an answer for everything the Bills had to say?

Doug Pederson (2:25)

You know, I think it's just the credit to the players.

Defense has the offenses back. Offense has the defenses back. Special teams, both. And I just think that that's where, you know, the difference was, was with the players. And, you know, offensive struggles in the second quarter, we missed opportunities to kick some field goals. We took points off the board, which we can't do.

But defense went out there and, you know, held them to seven points in the first half and really did an outstanding job. And again, you know, credit the players. They really understood this type of game. We as a team, I think, are figuring out, you know, that we're very capable of winning these types of games. And this is a step in that direction.

SPEAKER_1 (3:10)

What does it mean for this organization to come over here, have this historic trip, and come out of this with two victories, and in a lot of ways, change your early season where this year might go?

Doug Pederson (3:21)

I think it's big. It's big for our organization. It's big, you know, we came over here one and two, and we're going back three and two.

But again, listen, it's two ballgames. It's one ballgame, whatever it might be. You know, we're five-yen. We've got plenty of football ahead of us, a lot of work ahead of us. We got this travel, kind of a short week. You know, but it is. It's great to come over here because we have a lot of fans here.

The organization, our owner, Mr. Khan, obviously we all enjoy coming here. We spent 10 days here, two great places, the Grove and Hanbury Manor were outstanding for us. And I'm just proud of our entire organization, our team for how we handled it.

SPEAKER_3 (3:59)

Can you update the injuries?

Doug Pederson (4:04)

I don't know Zay specifically yet.

I think it's still the same injury he had from a couple of weeks ago, so we'll see where he's at.
