JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Jacksonville Jaguars coach Jack Del Rio has no regrets about kicking a field goal while trailing by 10 points late at Pittsburgh.
The Jaguars trailed 17-10 with 4:22 remaining when Del Rio called for a 45-yard field goal instead of trying to convert a fourth-and-6 play.

The decision drew strong criticism. Former All-Pro defensive tackle and current NFL Network analyst Warren Sapp wrote on his Twitter page that Del Rio "Should Be Fired. Kicking a FG Down 17-10! (hash)Idiot."
The Jaguars (1-5) made the field goal and got the ball back with a minute left, but failed to mount a threat and lost 17-13. Jacksonville has its first five-game losing streak in a decade and has matched the worst start in franchise history - new lows under Del Rio.
