Because, obviously, there\u2019s been his first four or five games this year, he\u2019s actually \u2026 protected the ball pretty well, and to do such a poor job of that for four quarters the other night, I would think he would tell you, is alarming and concerning at the same time. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s also, if you look at the body of work, he has a chance to prove that\u2019s the exception, not the rule, because if you\u2019re looking at his data this year, he hadn\u2019t had more than a turnover in a game until Saturday night. So I think he\u2019s taken it personal in a good way.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Jennings went 13-of-24 passing for 258 yards, one touchdown and three interceptions in the win.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think his teammates picked him up on Saturday night,\u201d Lashlee said. \u201cHis teammates picked him up this week and were excited for him to go out and play. And he\u2019s not gonna be perfect. He\u2019ll turn it over again at some point. You know, the one really bad interception thrown back across your body can\u2019t happen. And then just the ball security with the ball can\u2019t happen.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-my-plugin-fubo-ad-block\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fubo.tv\/welcome\/leagues\/191261?irad=399332&amp;irmp=5298464\"><strong><em>Save $30 on your first month of Fubo by CLICKING HERE NOW!<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>For a limited time, you can get your first month of Fubo for as low as $49.99.
