LONDON -- It’s going to be a happy plane ride back to the East Coast for the Jacksonville Jaguars.

And certainly for coach Gus Bradley.

The Jaguars’ 30-27 victory over the Indianapolis Colts at Wembley Stadium on Sunday eased some of the pressure on the franchise’s coach, who was feeling significant heat from the fan base after an 0-3 start that included a blowout loss in San Diego. Bradley’s job is seemingly safe for now after the team’s second consecutive victory in London.

"Everybody knows [that Bradley was on the hot seat]," Jaguars receiver Allen Hurns said. "Whether you try not to hear it, you're going to hear it. You have to deal with internet and reporters. Everybody knows, but for the most part we wanted to go out, protect the team and also protect Gus. It's been tough."

Bradley never acknowledged he may have been coaching for his job, but he did say earlier last week that the team needed a victory. The Jaguars had lost six consecutive games dating back to last season and Bradley was just 12-39 entering Sunday's game against the Colts. The Jaguars arguably could have beaten Green Bay (Week 1) and Baltimore (Week 3), but the issues that plagued the team in 2015 -- penalties, lack of discipline, blown assignments in critical moments -- showed up again against the Packers and Ravens.

The Week 2 blowout loss to San Diego, in which the Jaguars trailed 35-0 entering the fourth quarter, really increased the pressure. Yet tight end Marcedes Lewis said Bradley didn't act any different during the week or in the locker after Sunday's game than he has after any of the Jaguars' other victories.

"Not one time did Gus mention [his job security], did he act like that, did he act like he was under pressure," Lewis said. "He stayed the same guy, and that's what he's done since the day I met him. He's always the same guy every single day, which you can appreciate. We've grown to be able to lean on that.

"He was the exact same person. If he was worried about it, his poker face is amazing."

It looked dicey for a while, though, on Sunday. The Jaguars led 23-6 entering the fourth quarter, but Colts quarterback Andrew Luck put together back-to-back touchdown drives that were each helped by big pass-interference penalties.

The Jaguars responded with a 42-yard catch-and-run for a touchdown by Hurns to take a 30-20 lead, but a mixup in the secondary on the Colts’ ensuing drive resulted in a 64-yard touchdown pass from Luck to Phillip Dorsett to cut the Jaguars’ lead to 30-27. Jaguars cornerback Jalen Ramsey appeared to come off Dorsett, and safety Johnathan Cyprien was not playing deep.

On the Colts' next possession, the Jaguars essentially sealed the victory when first-year reserve cornerback Josh Johnson knocked a pass away from Indianapolis tight end Dwayne Allen on fourth down with less than two minutes left. The Colts got the ball back with 26 seconds left, but the drive went nowhere.

Sunday’s victory certainly doesn’t mean Bradley’s job is safe for the rest of the season, but it definitely makes for a much more comfortable bye week.

The Jaguars (1-3) travel to Chicago to face the Bears after the bye.
