    QB Trevor Lawrence says Jaguars have ‘turned the page’ on latest embarrassing loss

    WATFORD, England (AP) — Over in Old England, it’s on to New England for the Jacksonville Jaguars.

    Jags quarterback Trevor Lawrence said he and his team have put an embarrassing 35-16 loss to the Chicago Bears behind them.

    Next up are the Patriots (1-5) on Sunday at Wembley Stadium.

    “You just have to be able to move on quickly in this league — wins or losses,” Lawrence said Wednesday after practice at their countryside hotel. “We’ve turned the page and we’ve got to put our best foot forward and try to go beat New England.”

    Still, it’s a lot to move on from. There were turnovers, costly drops, penalties, blown coverages. The loss dropped Jacksonville to 1-5.

    “Part of it is keeping the spirits up. Obviously, you stay focused and you stay locked in now more than ever, but you also have to have fun. It’s still a game,” Lawrence said. “We’re still out here getting to do what we love.”

    The goal, he added, is to not let the pressure “take away the joy of the game. I think that helps you play better, honestly. That’s kind of been what we’ve been talking about and some of the coaches’ messaging.”

    The loss wasn’t even their worst of the season. The Jags were trounced 47-10 by the Buffalo Bills in Week 3.

    Help on the way?

    Tyson Campbell hasn’t played since the season opener because of a hamstring injury but the Jaguars hope the cornerback will be ready to face the Patriots.

    Campbell will practice this week before a decision is made, coach Doug Pederson said.

    “That changes some things, and just adds another body, another really good corner that can help us,” Pederson said. “It gives us some more flexibility to move some guys around and see where they can play.”

    On Monday, the Jags traded veteran defensive lineman Roy Robertson-Harris to the Seattle Seahawks for a sixth-round draft pick in 2026.

    “It was an opportunity for him and obviously for us,” Pederson said.

    He doesn’t expect a fire sale, though.

    “You’re always open to conversations and phone calls but I don’t anticipate anything like that,” he said.
