Jaguars drafted Cyprien in second round in 2013. … Jaguars seeking first 2-0 start since 2006. … Jacksonville enjoyed nearly perfect opener at Texans: ran with authority, had no turnovers and played stout defense. It’s identity new coach Doug Marrone and chief decision maker Tom Coughlin want, but team needs to do it again to prove it’s no fluke. … Jaguars spent two extra nights in Houston because of Hurricane Irma. They returned home to significant damage and flooding in parts of Jacksonville. Owner Shad Khan donated $1 million to relief efforts, and team is giving away 5,000 game tickets to first responders and families displaced by hurricane. … Marrone has close ties to Middle Tennessee State.
