The Jaguars enter Sunday's game two games behind the Colts in the AFC South and in the seventh and final AFC playoff spot, having won two of three games after a two-game midseason losing streak. That losing streak followed a three-game early-season winning streak that had them briefly atop the AFC standings.
The task now: Play more consistently to the standard of which Coen and Tuten spoke, which means carrying what happened Sunday into the foreseeable future.
"Ultimately in a season, there's highs and lows," Coen said. "But when you play as we played on Sunday: 'OK, well that's what it looks like when we prepare the way we did and got ourselves in the mindset, mentality to go play that way – and performed obviously, cleaner.' "
Coen emphasized that last part of Sunday's victory, with the Jaguars – after struggling with pre-snap penalties through much of the first nine games – being penalized once for five yards. They committed no offensive penalties.
"The physicality and all that I really appreciated and we want every week, but it was just cleaner in a lot of ways and in all three phases," Coen said. "That is the standard and we all kind of owe it to each other in that room to uphold that standard moving forward in terms of the way that we go about our business, prepare and ultimately play.
"That's the thing about coaching and playing in the National Football League with long seasons is the teams that can maintain that sustained success and consistency throughout a number of weeks give yourself a chance."
