Trevor Lawrence is playing like a top-10 QB right now and it has the Jaguars back in the playoff hunt. DUUUVAL
Lawrence has been especially excellent since the beginning of November. In Jacksonville’s latest six contests, Lawrence has completed 70.4% of his passing attempts for 1,680 passing yards, 14 touchdowns, and one interception. Lawrence has posted a quarterback rating of 106.1 or greater in five of those showings. The Jaguars have gone 4-2 throughout Lawrence’s ongoing career-best stretch. He has now thrown 24 touchdowns and just seven interceptions this season.
It represents a much-welcomed change in form for Lawrence, who began the 2022 campaign in a rather disappointing fashion. The same poor decision-making and questionable ball placement that derailed Lawrence’s rookie season threatened to become a concerning pattern. Lawrence had difficulty navigating through the early portion of his schedule.
Prior to Lawrence’s breakout showing against the Las Vegas Raiders in early November, the Jaguars lost five consecutive contests. Lawrence completed 58.1% of his passing attempts or less in four of those games. There was a 133-yard, two-interception performance in a four-point loss to the Denver Broncos. There was a six-point, two-interception showing against the lowly Houston Texans. Lawrence completed a season-low 47.8% of his attempts against the Philadelphia Eagles.
Lawrence has been especially productive via regular dropbacks. Lawrence has completed 65.2% of his non-play-action dropbacks for 2,475 yards, 21 touchdowns, and five interceptions, per Pro Football Focus. That accounts for 77.1% of Lawrence’s dropbacks. He’s been arguably more effective via play-action, albeit through a smaller sample size. Lawrence is completing 68.7% of his play-action attempts.
