An ineligible man downfield penalty on Cam Robinson wiped out a touchdown reception for Evan Engram against the Kansas City Chiefs, but the Jacksonville Jaguars offensive tackle says that the mistake wasn’t on him.
On Wednesday, Robinson tweeted that his assignment was to run block on the Jaguars’ run-pass option play that eventually turned into a short pass to Engram.
Plot twist, a fan that actually knows what they’re talking about…On a RUN pass option (rpo) you block for the RUN. Who knew?🤷🏾♂️ https://t.co/os2wnEXlst

On Monday, Jaguars coach Doug Pederson said Robinson and the team’s other starting offensive tackle, Jawaan Taylor, aren’t too blame after both picked up ineligible man downfield penalties.
“That, to me, doesn’t necessarily fall on them because they’re doing what they’ve been asked to do,” Pederson said. “So that’s a coaching thing that we can fix. We talked about it as a staff today, and we have ways of correcting that and making sure they’re not downfield next time.”
After the five-yard penalty on Robinson, the Jaguars had an incomplete pass followed by a sack and were forced to settle for a 35-yard field goal. The kick cut the Chiefs’ lead to 20-10 with just under six minutes left in the third quarter.
Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence, who was sacked 12 times in the first nine weeks of the season, was sacked a season-high five times by the Chiefs in Week 10.
