Trevor Lawrence 'on fire,' accounts for 6 TDs in Jaguars' rout - ESPN
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Trevor Lawrence and Travis Etienne Jr. have played four seasons together with the Jacksonville Jaguars after three seasons together at Clemson, but at no point has Etienne seen Lawrence play as well as he has over the past two months.
And especially not the way he played against the New York Jets on Sunday.
Lawrence threw for 330 yards and a career-high five touchdowns and ran for another in the Jaguars' 48-20 rout at EverBank Stadium. That makes him the only player in NFL history with five or more passing TDs, one or more rushing TDs, and at least 50 rushing yards in a single game, per ESPN Research.
«I don't think I ever seen Trevor like this,» Etienne said. «We won a national championship together and I feel like he's just out there.
»He's on fire, man."
So are the Jaguars (10-4). The victory over the Jets was their fifth in a row, four of which have been by 17 or more points, and the run has them sitting with a 99% chance to make the playoffs and 65% chance to win the AFC South, per ESPN Analytics. They have a one-game lead in the division over the Houston Texans heading into next Sunday's game in Denver.
Lawrence is a major reason why. He has 14 touchdown passes, six interceptions, and four rushing touchdowns in the last seven games. He's thrown a league-high six go-ahead TD passes and led two game-winning drives in that span. The Jaguars are 6-1 in that stretch, with the only loss coming in Week 10 at Houston. Against the Jets, he completed 11-of-14 passes for 225 yards and two touchdowns on throws of 10-plus yards downfield and threw for a career-high 150 yards against the blitz. He also posted the best passer rating of his career (136.7).
«Very proud of Trevor and his preparation, the way
