The Jacksonville Jaguars are well aware of the stakes for their Monday Night Football game against the Kansas City Chiefs. They're currently 3-1, but if they want to keep up with their AFC South foes, they'll need to come out on top.
Head coach Liam Coen talked about the game's importance, noting that it presents a great opportunity for the Jags, their fans, and the city of Jacksonville.
"The guys have worked their tails off since really we got here," Coen told reporters. "Everything we've asked them to do from that standpoint, to have the support of the community at the game, making it as loud as humanly possible will be awesome. I mean, it's just a great op for our city, for our organization, for sure."
And that's the thing. While the Jaguars are off to a strong start to the season, they have yet to be considered a true contender. For that to change, Coen says they need to win.
"I think that's definitely become a little bit part of who we are. Look, we need to gain and earn respect. You have to go take it, and there's just not much you can say, besides your tape being your resume," Coen said when asked if the Jags are going into the game with a chip on their shoulders.
"And earning respect, obviously, in the way that we play, in the style which we want to play the game with, but also winning, right? Winning and taking wins is also really important. So, I think that these guys are confident, but also understand that we have a great opponent coming in, but this is truly about us. Let's go take the next step as a team and see what happens."
Coen is right. A win would go a long way toward showing the Jaguars are for real. And if you want to watch them face the Chiefs on Monday Night, here's how you can do it, with & without cable.
