If the Jaguars want to make some kind of a run the rest of the season, they need to find a way to avoid the one key play per game that kills their chances to win.
“I feel like we’re starting to click more and more on offense, especially in the passing game,” said Lawrence, who has completed 76.0 percent of his passes for 494 yards, three touchdowns, no turnovers and a 108.54 passer rating. “When you really look at the details and some of the stuff we’re doing, I think we’re making a lot of steps. It’s a huge part of the game … playing with that confidence and trust in each other.
But a loss is a loss in the NFL and fans don’t necessarily want to hear that losing by four is progress, compared to losing by 34. The defense contributed possibly its worst play of the season when rookie Travon Walker was flagged of unnecessary roughness on Davis Mills with 7:26 left in the game on a third-and-20. The Texans were awarded the first down at the Jags' 38 and scored the winning TD six plays later. This one isn’t on Lawrence. He had a good game and put the Jaguars ahead 27-26 with 2:48 left.
“Offensively, you look at the turnovers in the red zone,” he said. “It takes points off the board and even though, number-wise [statistics] we’re in a good spot, those things can really hurt you. Third down has been a little inconsistent. So those are areas we’ve got to improve.”
