There were turnovers by the Jacksonville Jaguars on consecutive offensive

snaps and miscommunication on defense that allowed Dallas to keep making big plays.Even on special teams Authentic Sean Lee Jersey , after forcing a punt, there were too many players on the field for a drive-extending penalty that led to another Cowboys touchdown."There's not one spot I can honestly say that we performed well enough to win," coach Doug Marrone said.The Jaguars trailed big at halftime for the second week in a row and were held to a season-low 204 total yards Sunday in a 40-7 loss, their worst in three years."It's tough to play that way. We've got to do a better job offensively getting started early. The games we played well as an offense, we got started early," quarterback Blake Bortles said. "It was just kind bad all around."Even after consecutive losses in which the Jaguars (3-3) were scoreless and down big at halftime, the team that made it to the AFC title game last season is still in a three-way tie for the AFC South lead after Tennessee lost and Houston won earlier Sunday. The Texans are in Jacksonville next weekend."As bad as it is, it just puts you in perspective. There's still a lot of football to play and we still can make it happen," 11th-year defensive lineman Calais Campbell said. "This one stings. I don't like the way it went down. We're still in a good position to go do what we want to do. Our goals are still intact."Dallas scored on all four of its possessions before halftime, building a 24-0 lead as the Jaguars played their fourth game without ailing running back Leonard Fournette and while dealing with an injury-riddled offensive line.The Jaguars had trailed 20-0 at halftime a week earlier at Kansas City before Bortles threw for 304 of his 430 yards and two touchdowns after halftime to make it a 30-14 final.Instead of another big second half this time, Jacksonville suffered its worst loss since falling 51-17 at New England on Sept. 27 Authentic Demarcus Lawrence Jersey , 2015.Jacksonville finally scored against the Cowboys midway through the third quarter when Bortles hit Dede Westbrook for a 34-yard touchdown that made it 24-7.The next two offensive snaps by the Jaguars resulted in turnovers that led directly to points for Dallas.When Bortles threw into heavy coverage, the ball ricocheted off another defender to Jeff Heath, whose 35-yard return to the Jaguars 8 set up Brett Maher's 32-yard field goal that made it 30-7.On the first play of the ensuing Jaguars possession, Keelan Cole fumbled after making a short catch and then taking a couple of steps. Dallas recovered at the 31, and two plays later Ezekiel Elliott added a 15-yard TD run to start the fourth quarter.Bortles finished 15 of 26 for 149 yards, and was sacked three times. He missed out on a chance to be only the fifth NFL quarterback with at least 375 yards passing in three straight games after establishing a career high in consecutive weeks. But he also had a career-high four interceptions in the loss to the Chiefs.When Marrone was asked about the possibility of any changes to spark the quarterback, he certainly didn't put all the blame on Bortles."I think it's hard to say it's the quarterback when it's everybody, including the coaches, including myself. That's how I feel, when I was watching the game," Marrone said. "I wish it was that easy Womens Connor Williams Jersey , I wish you could say, there it is, get him out, let's go. But that wasn't the case. It's everybody." Earl Thomas' issues with the Seattle Seahawks front office aren't going away, even as he continues to play like one of the best safeties in the NFL.How much longer the Seahawks are willing to put up with an unhappy star is now the big question.After a few days of uncertainty, Thomas was on the field Sunday creating problems for opponents in Seattle's 24-13 win over the Dallas Cowboys. In what he acknowledged could end up being his last game in Seattle, Thomas had two interceptions and tied for a team high with seven tackles."I don't know if it was," Thomas said, "but I had a damn good time and I'll go out like that if I have to."His displeasure with his situation in Seattle remains evident. Thomas' holdout from Seattle's offseason program and training camp didn't result in a contract extension or a trade. He's now banking that skipping two days of practice this past week — and then playing great Sunday — may finally force Seattle's hand to make some sort of move, either offering him a long-term contract extension or sending him to another team that might be willing to secure his future beyond this season."I love Seattle," Thomas said. "My family is here. I'm hopeful these guys will call my agent and we'll work something out. I want to be taken care of."Since he reported on the Wednesday before the season opener http://www.dallascowboysteamonline.com/geoff-swaim-jersey , Thomas had not taken any overt actions to express his displeasure with his contract situation, a deal with Seattle that expires after this season. That changed this week when he sat out practices Wednesday and Friday without any injury designation. Seattle coach Pete Carroll said Friday that Thomas missed the practices for personal reasons and was not injury related.Thomas said Sunday he sat out because he's "invested in myself.""If they were invested in me, I'd be out there practicing, but if I feel like anything — I don't give a damn if it's small, I got a headache — I'm not practicing," Thomas said.Carroll offered no explanations for the situation."Really, I haven't even talked to him about it other than we made it through and we talk next week," Carroll said. "There's nothing even to really tell you about it. I'll let you know next week."Thomas said he understood that decision would likely come with some financial repercussions — from the Seahawks."They definitely gonna tax me," Thomas said. "I'm sure I'll have a slip in my locker."Thomas' absence from practice — or the lingering uncertainty about his future — didn't seem to bother his teammates."He keeps playing like greatness, he's playing like he deserves one of those yellow jackets," defensive end Frank Clark said. "At the end of the day Authentic Ezekiel Elliott Jersey , that's Earl. Earl is going to do Earl. I think we all know that. Everybody is panicking and wondering where Earl is at, but I'm sure he's getting better somewhere in his little cave or something."Thomas' first interception came in the first quarter after he pinned a deflected pass against his shin and kept it from hitting the turf. His second pick also came off a deflection and stopped a drive by Dallas deep in Seattle territory in the fourth quarter. After the second interception, Thomas turned to Dallas' sideline and bowed.Thomas has never hid his desire to one day play for the Cowboys and last year after the Seahawks won in Dallas, Thomas made the odd move of running into the Cowboys' locker room to give a message to coach Jason Garrett: "If they kick me to the curb, come get me."It was the second time in his career Thomas had two interceptions in a game, and the bow was a bit of a shot at Dallas for not getting a deal done."I felt like that was just in the moment and if they were going to trade for me and extend me, they should have did it," Thomas said of his gesture that drew a 15-yard penalty.
