  "account": "The Jacksonville Jaguars have announced they will play 28 of their next 33 regular-season games away from home, beginning with a game in Denver on Sunday. Jaguars coach Liam Coen made this statement to his team, emphasizing their perspective. The team will play two out of eight home games in London due to renovations in EverBank Stadium. This situation, described as \"our reality\" and \"our truth,\" is not seen as an excuse by the players or fans. Coach Coen's decision to embrace this reality has become a form of \"trauma bonding\" for the team, as center Robert Hainsey noted. The Jaguars, who finished 6-2 on the road in 2025, believe they can compete in any venue and against any opponent. Coach Coen believes the team's less-than-ideal stadium situation could actually benefit them, providing more rest and fewer distractions during road trips.",
