Doug Pederson spoke to the media after the game about Mac Jones’ performance as quarterback and beating the Titans.

On what he saw from QB Mac Jones’s start

That's one thing about Mac, he just sticks to it. He grinds it out. He's right there with all the guys. The way he led our team. And really, there was no panic, right? Nobody pointing the finger or anything. We just had to tighten some things up and make a few subtle adjustments for him to lead us down there and get those 10 points, I thought. And then we had an opportunity before the half, in the two-minute drive before half, we're in a position. We just really had a penalty, a sack there, knocked us out of field goal range. He did some good things today and things that we can continue to build on.

On how QB Mac Jones must feel getting his first win for his hometown team

Doug: I think you have to ask him, but I know he's going to be excited. I'm excited for him to really lead our football team. And now he knows, too, moving forward that he's going to be out there, he's going to be the guy. The second half of last week to this week, just some things that we can continue to build, and he can build upon but excited for him obviously getting that first win.
