The players, coaches, front office staff, and of course the fans all breathed a sigh of relief. Jacksonville Jaguars When we beat the Indianapolis Colts last week.

Not only was this group’s first win of the 2024 season, but it was also their first win in nine starts. Trevor LawrenceThe Jaguars enjoyed a victory this offseason after signing the quarterback to a $55 million per season contract extension.

For Jaguars legendary running back Maurice Jones-Drew, that first win was monumental as the team was under pressure heading into the 2024 campaign.

“Your owner comes out and says, ‘This is the year we need to win. ‘We have so much talent,’ he says. Jones-Drew spoke to Fox News Digital after meeting and training with U.S. soldiers at Royal Air Force Lakenheath Military Base in London ahead of the game against the Chicago Bears.

“But I think it puts more pressure on those guys to go out and play. The hardest one to get is the first one. Once you get the first one, it feels like a lot of that pressure goes away. Okay, we can take the first one and now we can settle in and do our thing.’”

Jones-Drew pointed out how, despite the team’s 1-4 record to start the year, Jacksonville has been close, save for a blowout loss to the Buffalo Bills. all NFL playersEveryone, current and former, knows that winning a one-point game is possible in just a few plays.

The Jaguars defeated the Colts to earn their first win of the 2024 season.

The Jaguars haven’t made it, and as Jones-Drew put it, that could lead to “squeeze.”

“For them, it’s like, ‘Hey, what’s going on? It was like, ‘We’re putting pressure on you.’ And I felt like they were putting too much pressure on me. So, hopefully not derailing this win, they can now make a bit of a run and use London as a springboard to get back into the season like they did last year.”

The NFL’s annual London game is something players look forward to every year. Especially if you’ve never been to London before. However, with the Jaguars consistently traveling overseas each year and building a strong fan base, what is expected to be a neutral game for both teams turns out to be not the case.

“I think the Jags decided to make this a home-field advantage,” Jones-Drew said. “I thought it was amazing and smart,” he said. “A lot of teams said, ‘Oh, you have to go overseas.’ The Jags accepted, and I think knowing that we’re going to go there and play games for two weeks every year is half the battle. The Jags have a great fan base here, and again, half the battle is: It’s about accepting what’s going to happen.

So what exactly do the Jaguars need to do to go on a winning streak?

“I think we need to get the football going,” Jones-Drew said. They need to play the football at a clip. And when I say clips, I mean about two or three times every series,” Jones-Drew explained. “You have to run the football. Being able to run the football takes the pressure off Trevor because it’s just a play where he has to pass the ball without having to think. Second, it allows the offensive line. Third, set the tone for the game by playing football. And finally, setting up a play-action pass will see the Jags keep making plays. “I want to play soccer.”

Jones-Drew also noted that having Williams in the pocket was a big aspect of this game defensively and that Josh Hines-Allen has a potential breakout game as he is suspected to be the Bears’ starting offensive tackle. Year.

These Jaguars are still under pressure to dig themselves out of a hole so quickly and start the year again. But as Jones-Drew analogizes, the quicksand that came before seems to disappear after victory.

Perhaps now Lawrence and company can head out to a very familiar location overseas and enjoy the game.

Before Jones-Drew enjoyed watching his former team, he made a new military friend with Bears legend Charles “Peanut” Tillman at Royal Air Force Lakenheath. There, they ran USAA’s NFL Salute to Service Boot Camp, allowing men and women to try out football. technology.

While testing the 40-yard dash, shuttle, broad jump and more, Jones-Drew described the impact the event had on him as someone who already had the utmost respect for those who sacrificed their lives to protect us at home.

“These are people who are willing to pay the ultimate price for our freedom,” he said. “So ask questions to get to know them. I saw some Raiders fans there and it was really nice. I saw a Jags fan and there were a few Jags fans there too. It was really big. Just talking about the game, again, they’re called on to do their daily duties, which can give them a little break and solace by cheering on their team or talking about the Jags or any other team we’ve talked about. Why they had a bad start and why. It was a good start – it was the least I could do to show my appreciation and appreciation for what they have done and what they are doing.”

After gold in Paris, Earvin Ngapeth (33) talks about the Tokyo Olympics: “There, it was…

By Editorial | Sport

Star of the Blues for many years, Earvin Ngapeth added a second Olympic gold medal to his record at the end of a crazy fortnight in Paris. But if he had already been crowned in Tokyo, the receiver-attacker assures him: there is no possible comparison between these two charms. Because things were very different in Japan…

In addition to Cassandre Beaugrand, Léon Marchand, Pauline Ferrand-Prévot and others who shone individually, team sport was not left out during these Paris Olympic Games. Rugby sevens had certainly opened the way, while men’s and women’s basketball came very close to the feat. But it is perhaps the volleyball victory that will remain the most memorable.

Pushed by a melting public, the tricolors went to win the ultimate Holy Grail at the end of an eventful tournament, during which they almost took the door in the quarter-finals. Enough to make the final victory even sweeter, even more than that of Tokyo. And Earvin Ngapeth won’t tell you otherwise.

Earvin Ngapeth highlights the contrast between the Paris and Tokyo Olympics

Questioned by France Bleu, the native of Saint-Raphaël did not hide the fact that these two gold medals are very different. Because in Tokyo, the very specific conditions linked to Covid had ruined everything in his eyes:

When I see the medal, it’s always a great pride. It is even more beautiful because it is the one from Paris, games at home. In Tokyo, it was the first but it was empty. There was no one there. The stadium was empty. Far from families, far from friends. There, we were with everyone. Our audience, but especially family, friends. It has a really special taste.

Paragraph 4: Who feels that in deciding thus everyone has this and all things? Even the danger and this in other provinces.

When we come back from hell, we lose two zero, we win three two. I think something happened. When we arrived in the room and saw this atmosphere, the audience stood up. Clearly. If we’re not at home, we lose the quarter-final. And when we saw what happened, the emotion there was and we said to ourselves, guys, we have to relive that

So after such emotions, is Ngapeth, 33, thinking of signing a historic three pass for Los Angeles in 2028? The dream is inevitably in the back of his mind, but the Frenchman wanted to temper it and put things into perspective:

It makes us dream, obviously. But it’s complicated. Four years is a very long time. Next summer there is a world championship. This is the only title we are missing. So first, focus on that. Afterwards, yes, as long as the physical, the mental, the desire, the pleasure of being together is there. We all want to go to LA.

But first, there is this world championship. Afterwards, there is a European Championship. It’s step by step. I think it’s better to see it like that.

In many ways, Earvin Ngapeth and the French felt like they won gold for the first time this summer. Far from the solitude and psychosis of Tokyo, the French were able to celebrate this ultimate coronation with their families, their loved ones, and more broadly their country. An unforgettable moment that contrasts with the coldness of the Japanese charm…
