Rayshawn Jenkins: We’re a ‘bunch of cockroaches’ who can’t be killed

The Jacksonville Jaguars do not go away quietly.

The team’s 27-point rally against the Los Angeles Chargers to win 31-30 was the team’s biggest and most dramatic comeback of the year, but it wasn’t even close to their first come-from-behind victory.

After Saturday, the Jaguars are 4-0 in home games that they’ve trailed by double-digits. In five of their last six games, the Jaguars trailed early after their opponent scored first. Jacksonville won all of those games.

“I look at us like a bunch of cockroaches,” Jaguars safety Rayshawn Jenkins told Mia O’Brien of 1010XL. “Like, we can’t be killed. We’re going to fight you until it says zero-zero-zero-zero on the clock. We’re going to fight you all the way until then. Just always be prepared for that when you’re playing the Jags.”

Jenkins was the catalyst in two of the most dramatic comeback wins for the Jaguars this season, recording an overtime pick six against the Dallas Cowboys and a forced fumble against the Tennessee Titans that gave Jacksonville its first lead.

The Jaguars never got their game-changing turnover Saturday against the Chargers. Instead the defense stopped Los Angeles from scoring a touchdown on its last eight possessions and forced a three-and-out late in the fourth quarter to set Jacksonville up with a chance to win.
