5. Out of the gate. The Jaguars’ defense set the tone the entire game – and defensive end Travon Walker in a very real sense set the tone on the game’s first play when he pressured Herbert quickly and menacingly, forcing Herbert into an intentional grounding penalty that put the Chargers in a second-and-20 at their 13. “I think our energy was up all game from the beginning, from the first play,” Jaguars defensive end Josh Hines-Allen said. The Chargers punted three plays later and managed just two first downs the rest of the quarter – and eight the entire game. The Jaguars finished Sunday with three sacks – including one by Hines-Allen that gave him a franchise-record 56 for his career – and held the Chargers to 135 total yards for the game. “Very proud of Josh Hines-Allen, getting the franchise record but it was a group effort, really,” Coen said. “That whole group, that whole front, all those guys that got in, and have the ability to rush and create some havoc and kind of keep them under duress. That’s really what helped us win that game, and that’s where it started.”
