Jaguars Notebook: Pederson Addresses Game Penalties; Club Makes Roster Moves

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Aug. 14, 2023 - PRLog -- The Jacksonville Jaguars were flagged 13 times for 86 yards in their 28-23 preseason win over the Dallas Cowboys on Saturday.

"Yeah, with 13 penalties, I think it's obviously something we've talked about," head coach Doug Pederson said after the game. "I've talked about it with the team. In these preseason games, especially when you're playing a lot of guys, things are going to happen, but it's something we have to clean up."

Three of the penalties were false starts.

"It's really a discipline thing. It'll start with me this week in practice, and make sure that our guys understand the either pre-snap or post-snap, that just can't happen," added Pederson.
