"It was just a sloppy game... We're a better team than that. It's kind of embarrassing," the 23-year-old said.
The first overall pick of the 2021 NFL Draft completed just 22 of 41 passes for 216 yards, and he did not have a single touchdown or interception.
The 2022 Pro Bowl selection added five rushing attempts for 26 yards and fumbled twice, losing one.
The Jags ended the game with a 3-for-12 conversion record on third downs for the second straight week. They also went 0-for-3 in the red zone.

Two key players from Chiefs return in Week 2
Two important players for the reigning Super Bowl champions have returned for their Week 2 game.
Tight end Travis Kelce is back after sustaining a knee injury before the start of the season, receiving a touchdown pass from Patrick Mahomes early in the third quarter.
Meanwhile, defensive tackle Chris Jones returned after a holdout that lasted the whole offseason following a new contract that will make him earn more money this season than his old deal.
The Chiefs avoided becoming the first Super Bowl champions to start the season 0-2 since the Denver Broncos in 1999.
