Quarterback Trevor Lawrence has turned a corner this season and earned AFC Offensive Player of the Week honors on Wednesday, the first such award for a Jaguars player since 2010.
“I think we will handle it great. For us, we don’t really want any of that. We’d rather just be on the back burner and just let us do our thing, and that’s our mindset,” Lawrence said. “We’re not really worried about any of the attention that we get. Obviously, the goal is to play really well every week, win a lot of games, so you’re going to get some attention.”
“I expect the team to handle it, one, with class, and two, with just the fact that that’s fine, we still have to go to work every day and prepare for another football game and that starts with me during the week and setting the tone that way and just keeping us focused on task,” he said. “You’ve just got to stay disciplined as you rush,” Pederson said of Hurts. “He can break an arm tackle pretty easily. He can make you miss pretty easily. You’ve just got to be under control and disciplined, try to tackle him and get forehands on him and bring him down when you can. It’s a challenge, very much so, because if you get out of your rush lanes, he can make you pay with his legs.”
The Eagles, too, have a dominant defense. They’re giving up just 296.7 ypg and have five takeaways, a number that ranks third in the NFL. Philadelphia sacked Washington quarterback Carson Wentz nine times last week.
