The Jaguars (5-4), losers of three of the last four games after a three-game early-season winning streak, hold the seventh and final "playoff" spot in the AFC. They are two-and-a-half games behind the AFC South-leading Indianapolis Colts (8-2) with eight games remaining.
"We can't relive the moment," Coen said. "We can't change anything about the outcome of yesterday. It sucks, it's brutal. But this is the NFL. The real adversity, the real response to gut wrenching, tough losses like this. Everything is in front of us. We have every opportunity to go win this week. That's all that matters. We've got to win this week.
"When the players get back in the building [after a day off Tuesday], we are preparing for another opponent. We have to get this tape fixed and corrected and moved on, but I'm not worried about losing the team by any means."
The Jaguars, after finishing 3-10 in one-score games in 2024, are 4-3 in such games this season. Coen on Monday called the fourth quarter against the Texans – in which the Jaguars were outscored 26-0 and outgained 167-11 – "maddening, for sure."
"I didn't feel like we had enough edge yesterday," he said. "I think we've shown to have the edge at times. You're on the right side of some of those games going into yesterday and then you have a 19-point lead in the fourth quarter.
"We didn't have our edge in the fourth quarter yesterday, and that's what's very disappointing about that game. But the beauty of this league is we have an opportunity on Sunday to regain that edge into, 'Hey, if we're in that moment again, let's see how we respond.'''
