The victory last weekend against the Indianapolis Colts marked a positive first step for the Jacksonville Jaguars in this NFL season. Trevor Lawrence showed solid performance in his appearance, and once the win was secured, head coach Doug Pederson spoke about his star player.
Given the consecutive losses for the Jaguars, it was only natural that Lawrence was pointed out as one of the main culprits for the team’s poor performances in the first four weeks. However, the coach consistently maintained his confidence in him.
“Honestly. I didn’t really see anything other than him working through some of the issues that we’ve had the first month of the season,” Pederson told reporters after achieving their first season win.
“Trevor’s a professional, and he’s our guy, and we continue to help him and support him and do everything we can for him. I think he just has to understand that we’re going to do that, right? And as a quarterback, you just go out and do your job.“ Pederson continued.

Once the game concluded, Lawrence expressed his happiness with the synergy developed with some of his teammates during the matchup against the Colts: “Felt good to connect on some of those this week,” Lawrence told reporters after the win.
