Jaguars focus on improving run game during Week 7 bye

Summary

The Jacksonville Jaguars are entering their Week 7 bye as they look to refine their rushing attack. Head coach Liam Coen noted that while the team has had success, they have yet to fully unlock their potential with only six runs over 15 yards this season. Running back Chris Rodriguez Jr. highlighted the team's room for improvement, pointing out missed opportunities that could lead to more explosive plays. This follows a 34-31 loss to the Houston Texans, where the Jaguars rushed for 106 yards, with Rodriguez leading the effort with 55 yards on 11 carries.
