They don\u2019t want to just say, man, that was a good win. We can kind of hang back and not go to work this week. They want to continue to be intentional about their efforts, about taking care of their bodies and doing it together. It\u2019s a group that cares about each other. We all do. I think coaches and players alike.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">\u201cThere\u2019s still so much room to continue to grow as a team. As you get into December, playing your best football is very important. We have another opportunity to go do that this [coming] Sunday.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">What are your thoughts on the Jaguars\u2019 Week 16 matchup?
