Get ready for a rare Monday Night Football doubleheader in Week 3, with Jacksonville heading to Buffalo and Washington going to Cincinnati.
Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence is known for his level-headed demeanor, but following the team’s 18-13 loss to the Cleveland Browns in Week 2, he was visibly upset and frustrated by the underperforming offense. He acknowledged mistakes made by himself, the receivers, offensive line, backs, and coaches, emphasizing the need for accountability.
As the Jaguars prepare to face the Bills on Monday Night Football, the discussion surrounding Lawrence’s performance is heating up. Despite being tagged as a “generational prospect” coming out of college, he has struggled with inconsistency and turnovers in his first three NFL seasons. While he has shown flashes of elite play, he hasn’t lived up to top-QB status on the field.
Lawrence’s rookie season was marred by injuries and a dysfunctional team environment under former coach Urban Meyer. In his second season, he showed improvement, particularly in the latter half, but regressed in 2023 due to injuries and turnovers. This season, he has struggled to find consistency, with a completion percentage of 51% and a QBR of 56.7.
Despite his struggles, Lawrence’s coaches and teammates believe in his potential. “He’s got to do it,” said Jaguars coach Doug Pederson, referring to Lawrence’s need to take accountability and lead the team. “That’s what you want from your leader.”
Lawrence’s ability to bounce back from rough starts is well-documented. He has shown resilience and self-confidence, even in the face of criticism. As he prepares to face the Bills, he is focused on improving his game and leading his team to victory.
Will Lawrence finally break out and take the Jaguars back to the playoffs? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain – he has the talent and determination to make it happen.
