Michael Di Rocco of ESPN NFL reports on the Jacksonville Jaguars' 2026 outlook after a 27-24 playoff loss to the Buffalo Bills. Owner Shad Khan met with head coach Liam Coen, general manager James Gladstone and executive vice president Tony Boselli, pleased with a 13-4 record and AFC South title but determined to avoid regression. Khan emphasized, "We don't regress," recalling past collapses in 2018 (5-11) and 2023 (1-5 finish after injuries to Zay Jones and Christian Kirk), which ended consecutive playoff runs since 1998-99.

Only the Cleveland Browns, Washington Commanders and Jaguars lack back-to-back playoff berths since 1999. With a quiet offseason featuring only running back Chris Rodriguez Jr. and no first-round pick due to the Travis Hunter trade, the team believes internal growth will solve issues. Trevor Lawrence feels healthy and confident, stating, "I feel really healthy...

I think I'm throwing it as good as ever. I think the chemistry with the guys is really, really good." Coen's culture overhaul targets fast, aggressive play, fundamental soundness, situational excellence and mental toughness. The quest begins Sunday, Sept. 13 against the Browns.
