Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence had a simple message for the upcoming 2026 season.
“Reload.”
Lawrence shared a highlight video on social media with that message as the caption. Within the highlight video, he had this to say as he reflected on the 2025 season.
“It was an awesome season as far as fun,” Lawrence said. “We made a lot of improvements this year. Grew a lot. It takes a lot to have the success that we had. Good days are ahead.”
In Year 1 under head coach Liam Coen, the Jaguars went from four wins in 2024 to 13 wins this past season and were winners of the AFC South.

The Jaguars finished the regular season on an eight-game winning streak with the offense averaging nearly 33 points per game during that stretch. Leading the way was Lawrence, whose play elevated as the season went on. A lot of that success started pre-snap, with Lawrence getting the offense into advantageous looks.
Lawrence ranked fourth among all quarterbacks in total passing yards in that stretch of games, per PFF. He was also third in yards per pass attempt, second in passing touchdowns, and had the fifth-lowest turnover-worthy play rate. We also saw Lawrence make a lot of plays with his legs.
Overall, Lawrence finished the 2025 season completing 61% of his passes for 4,214 yards with 41 total touchdowns — including 32 passing — to 14 interceptions. Among all quarterbacks, he ranked seventh in passing yards and fourth in passing touchdowns.
Lawrence was among the five MVP finalists as well.
Oftentimes, there can be a leap for a quarterback and an offense in Year 2 of a scheme. The second offseason in a system provides the players with the opportunity to dive deeper into the playbook with a solid foundation in place, rather than trying to learn the new scheme on the fly, which was the case a year ago.
