Lawrence’s outstanding season so far
Trevor Lawrence is having a stellar start to the 2026 season, leading the Jaguars to an impressive 4–1 record through five games. He’s operating with incredible efficiency, completing 67.1% of his passes (96 of 143) for 1,174 yards, 10 touchdowns, and only 3 interceptions.
Averaging 8.2 yards per attempt with a sharp 106.8 passer rating, “Sunshine” is taking care of the football and making big-time throws when it counts—highlighted by a explosive 4-TD game in Week 1 and a clutch 331-yard performance to edge out the Eagles.

CJ Stroud is starting to regain his form
C.J. Stroud has bounce backed in a big way to start the 2026 season. Through five games, he’s stacked up 1,402 passing yards (ranking top-5 in the NFL) with a 64.3% completion rate, 6 passing touchdowns, and zero interceptions for a clean 98.1 passer rating. Even with Houston off to a tough 1–4 start, Stroud has elevated the offense by playing hyper-efficient, disciplined football—sharpening his pre-snap reads, protecting the ball, and consistently pushing deep downfield with an aggressive 10.6 average depth of target.
He’s also using his legs to extend plays and scramble for key first downs, single-handedly keeping the Texans competitive in close games and proving he can carry the unit when needed.
