Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence made some serious mistakes on Sunday in a 13-6 loss to the Houston Texans at TIAA Bank Field. Does he know how to learn from them?
Compounded with his five-turnover game the week before in a 29-21 loss at Philadelphia, Lawrence has muted the chatter last month that he's playing a level of ball worthy of the"generational talent" label pinned on him since he led Clemson to the 2018 national championship as a freshman.
Right now, the Jaguars coaching staff may be unsure of which quarterback will show up: the Trevor Lawrence who threw for 497 yards, five touchdowns, completed 76.8% of his passes, had a 120.26 passer rating and had no turnovers and no sacks in putting 62 points on the board in beating Indianapolis and the L.A. Chargers; or the Trevor Lawrence who accounted for 460 yards with two TD passes, three interceptions, four sacks, a 51.4 completion percentage and a 63.
Lawrence admitted Wednesday after the Jaguars split their practice time between the indoor flex field and TIAA Bank Field that it's an ongoing process between trying to make the big play or execute a lot of little ones that add up to a victory. "Just don't make a bad play worse," he said of his goal moving forward, with the next step coming on Sunday at Indianapolis to face the Colts for the second time in five weeks."If we don't get the look we necessarily thought we were going to have or the first couple of guys aren't open ... throw the ball away, scramble for no gain or a yard or two and move on to the next play.
Maybe seeing horseshoe helmets will help light a spark under Lawrence on Sunday. In his last two games against the Colts, Lawrence has thrown for 458 yards, completed 77.4% of his passes, had four TD passes, no turnovers and a passer rating of 118.88.
