One NFL coach called me Monday morning at my Kansas City hotel to ask this simple question:"Is Josh Allen hurt?"But it's not anything medical-related because Allen hasn't been on the injury report all year.
But Allen has only 3.0 sacks, and none since putting the Philadelphia Eagles’ Jalen Hurts on the ground in Week 4. His six-game sackless streak is eclipsed only by a seven-week stretch last season when he finished with 7.5 sacks. As a rookie, he started just four games and had a career-high 10.5 sacks.
Pederson made no attempt Monday to sugarcoat Allen’s lack of production, though he’s hardly the only defensive player not playing up to standard. Allen was so effusive in his praise for Walker and Lloyd, he declared after that game that one of them “is definitely going to win Defensive Rookie of the Year.”
Jenkins, who acknowledged blown coverages on three of the four TDs allowed against the Chiefs, implied Tuesday that the defense needs to be more focused every single play and not have periodic lapses. Pederson cited a malfunctioning headset for messing up the defense’s communication on a 6-yard scoring toss to Kadarius Toney, but it’s not like the receiver was hidden. He went out in motion to the right and no defender bothered to follow Toney, who hop-scotched the last three yards into the end zone to avoid going out of bounds. So many situations like that have been a microcosm of why the Jaguars’ defense is underachieving. They give up too many big plays at the most inopportune times.
