Trevor Lawrence and the Jacksonville Jaguars’ starting offense as on the field against Pittsburgh for one possession in Saturday night’s game.
So how did head coach Liam Coen think his quarterback performed?

“I think aside from the first play, I think he was at the line with a can and took a little long and it got us a little jumpy, but I thought aside from that well,” Coen recalled after the game. “You look at getting through some progressions–he got back to Strange on a progression for a first down that was really nice to see.”
On that first play that Coen was referencing, right tackle Anton Harrison was flagged for a false start, but overall, it was a very efficient performance from Lawrence.
He would finish his night 6-of-7 passing for 43 yards, orchestrating a 12-play drive that ended in a field goal from Cam Little.
But beyond the production, Lawrence looked very confident and comfortable operating this robust offense. He spread the ball around, completing passes to five different pass-catchers, was on time in the quick game, and attacked the middle of the field.

“I thought we protected Trevor well,” Coen continued. “I thought he was accurate with the ball. The safety made a good drive on BT on that one in-breaker but the ball was where it needed to be. Maybe a little bit firm for him, but I thought he operated at a good click.”
