JACKSONVILLE – The critical offensive talking points remain simple.

Press Taylor spoke to the media Thursday morning, with the Jaguars' offensive coordinator discussing Week 1 of the 2024 NFL season and the immediate state of the offense moving into Week 2. His key themes remained basic:

Eliminate mistakes and make plays when it matters.

"It's all about us," Taylor said.

Taylor and defensive coordinator Ryan Nielsen both talked to the media Thursday as the Jaguars (0-1) prepared to play the Cleveland Browns (0-1) in a key early-season AFC game at EverBank Stadium in Jacksonville Sunday. Taylor spoke of an offense that produced multiple impressive drives in a Week 1 loss to Miami, but that had four yards in the fourth quarter.

The offense also went two of 10 on third downs against Miami, with a lost fumble by running back Travis Etienne Jr. late in the third quarter turning a potential game-securing touchdown into a touchback.

"It is frustrating; yes, it is," Taylor said, adding that the key moving forward is "us getting out of our own way and giving ourselves the best possibility to win the game."

Taylor added, "We just didn't consistently make enough plays or execute at the highest high enough level throughout the course of the game."

Taylor on Thursday also discussed a key matchup in Sunday's game: Browns defensive end Myles Garrett, widely considered one of the NFL's best defensive players.

Garrett, a three-time first-team All-Pro selection and the 2023 NFL Defensive Player of the Year, has registered at least 14 sacks in each of the last three seasons and has had at least 10 sacks each of the last six seasons.

"There are certain guys in this league we classify as game-wreckers, and he is certainly one of those," Taylor said. "You pay special attention to that guy. We will do everything in our power to be very aware of where 95 (Garrett) is at all times. They do a great job of moving him. On third down particularly, he could align anywhere at any time. Special players require special focus, and he's definitely one of those guys."

• Two additions to the Jaguars' offense have adapted quickly early in the season, with wide receivers Brian Thomas Jr. and Gabe Davis leading the team in receiving in Week 1. The Jaguars selected Thomas No. 23 overall in the 2024 NFL Draft, signing Davis as an unrestricted free agent from the Buffalo Bills. Davis caught three passes for 62 yards in Week 1, with Thomas catching four passes for 47 yards and a touchdown and also drawing a 40-yard interference penalty. The Jaguars' other receivers and tight ends caught three passes for 38 yards. "It doesn't surprise me at all just because we put a lot of work in and I've seen them in practice and those guys are just gamers, both of them," quarterback Trevor Lawrence said. "They'll go out and make the play. It's great having those guys and them impacting the game and contributing this early in the system and getting comfortable. I think it's awesome. It's just going to keep growing."

• Head Coach Doug Pederson on playing at EverBank Stadium, where the Jaguars finished 3-5 in 2023: "You want to win at home. You want to win in front of your fans. It's great for your players and your organization to do that. I don't spend a lot of time focusing on that as much as continuing to do our jobs. No matter where we play, you try to win the game. At home, it matters. It matters in front of your fans and your city. We just hope this Sunday will be a great crowd out here at the 'Bank."

QUOTABLE

• Pederson on running back Travis Etienne Jr., whose fumble in Week 1 was his first since the 2022 season: "He's self-motivated. He and I spoke even during the game – and then afterward. I reassured him we're going to continue to give him the football. That's the next best thing is to get him right back on that horse and keep feeing him the ball. I don't want him to be tentative or cautious. I still want him to attack and be aggressive and just learn from it."
