Trevor Lawrence has so far helped the Jacksonville Jaguars win two of three games this season. His four touchdowns have been just enough to secure those wins, but he also carries four interceptions, placing him near an undesirable franchise record.
Last weekâs victory against the Texans, the teamâs second win at home, was another game where Lawrence threw an interception, his fourth of the year. He has now thrown picks in three consecutive games this season, a streak that extends back to the end of last season.
He currently has a six-straight game interception streak. The final three games of last season (against the Packers, Eagles, and Texans) combined with this yearâs interceptions (against the Texans, Bengals, and Panthers) put him on the verge of tying the Jaguarsâ franchise record, currently held by Blake Bortles.
Lawrence looking for a stronger start
While Lawrenceâs statistics arenât flawless, including a couple of costly interceptions, the teamâs ability to secure wins suggests progress in overall execution and leadership. Head Coach Liam Coen has echoed this sentiment, noting that Lawrenceâs play is often âbetter than the stats indicate,â pointing to dropped passes as factors suppressing his completion percentage.
Lawrence affirms that he âfeel[s] really good operatingâ the offense and has a clear grasp of the game plan and his reads, indicating the mental side of his game is strong and continually growing each week. His self-critique demonstrates a commitment to refining his performance rather than making excuses.
The teamâs successful record shows a foundation of maturity that was absent in previous years, suggesting Lawrence is indeed looking ahead to a season where he can finally convert his excellent field vision and operational command into consistently clean, error-free play.
