Pressure vs. No Pressure<\/p>\n
Coming out of college, many expected Trevor Lawrence to be one of the more creative, play-making quarterbacks in the NFL out of structure. And while glimpses of that have been seen, it hadn\u2019t manifested itself on a consistent basis, until now.<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s check back in on how Larence is doing when comparing his numbers from a clean pocket and when pressured.<\/p>\n
From a clean pocket, Trevor Lawrence has been surgical. On the year, he completed 65% of his passes for 3,056 yards, 24 touchdowns and eight interceptions. For reference that\u2019s good for an NFL Rating of 99.1, 19th among the Top-33 QBs. His EPA\/Play ranks 12th.<\/p>\n
One would expect this to be higher, but he\u2019s really come on as of late, particularly so in the last six games. Over the last six weeks, he\u2019s completed 69.2% of his passes for 1180 yards, 13 TDs to zero interceptions. Those numbers are good for an insane 130.9 NFL Rating.<\/p>\n
When he is under pressure, his numbers might not be as good, but it\u2019s another area he has massively improved in. The stats don\u2019t really do him a lot of justice because his legs have become such a threat.<\/p>\n
On the year, Lawrence has completed just 50% of his passes under pressure for 951 yards, five touchdowns and four interceptions. Those numbers are, admittedly, not good. His 69.5 NFL Rating ranks 20th among the Top-33 QBs, and his EPA\/Play ranks 23rd.<\/p>\n
Prior to the bye, Lawrence ranked 27th in EPA\/Play outside of the pocket, however, since Week 10, he ranks 8th. Massive improvement yet again for Trevor Lawrence.<\/p>\n
This is where Lawrence\u2019s legs come into play. They have added yet another threat to an offense averaging over 30 points a game since the bye. Lawrence\u2019s 40 first downs on the ground are third most in the NFL. He\u2019s particularly deadly scampering on third and fourth down with 26 first downs (2nd most).<\/p>\n

For some context, he ranks 26th in NFL Rating and 24th in EPA\/Play.<\/p>\n Against the blitz, however, is the area where Trevor Lawrence has maybe improved most, especially as of late. On the year, Lawrence has completed 62% of his passes for 1,407 yards, 13 TDs to just three interceptions. That\u2019s good for a 107.8 NFL Rating (9th) and the 6th best EPA\/Play.<\/p>\n Over the last six games, he\u2019s been even better, completing 68.7% of his passes for 664 yards, 6 TDs to zero interceptions and an NFL Rating of 130.4 For some reason, teams are only blitzing him more and more frequently.<\/p>\n Much of his success has been his own doing at the line of scrimmage as well, checking the play-call to put the offense into more advantageous situations. Liam Coen mentioned this last week after the Jaguars\u2019 win against the Colts.<\/p>\n Play-Action vs. No Play-Action<\/p>\n The third and final segment we will look at regarding Trevor Lawrence\u2019s season is play-action.<\/p>\n The Jaguars are league-average in their use of play-action so there\u2019s not much to take away there, nor is there much to take away after seeing his numbers. There\u2019s very little difference in Lawrence\u2019s play between play-action and no play-action.<\/p>\n With play-action, Lawrence is completing 55% of his passes for 1,019 yards, seven touchdowns to just one interception. His 91.9 NFL Rating ranks 25th and his EPA\/Play ranks 16th. It\u2019s a bit lower this season than the rest of his career.<\/p>\n Without play-action, Lawrence is charting a 63% completion rate, 22 touchdowns to 11 interceptions for an NFL Rating of 90.7, 20th in the NFL. He ranked 16th in EPA\/Play on non play-action dropbacks, the exact same as with play-action.<\/p>\n It should be noted that nearly all of Trevor Lawrence\u2019s rushing success throughout his career has come out without the use of play-action, including all 23 of his rushing touchdowns.<\/p>\n Trevor Lawrence stats <\/p>\n Read: Trevor Lawrence\u2019s \u2018iced out grillz\u2019 | Viral AI-generated image just got real<\/a><\/p>\n [DOWNLOAD: Free Action News Jax app for alerts as news breaks<\/a>]<\/p>\n [SIGN UP: Action News Jax Daily Headlines Newsletter<\/a>] <\/p>\n Click here<\/a> to download the free Action News Jax apps, click here<\/a> to download the Action News Jax Now app for your smart TV and click here<\/a> to stream Action Sports Jax 24\/7 live.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"JACKSONVILLE, Fla. \u2014 Trevor Lawrence is on a historic run; it might just be the best set of…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":661238,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[2060],"tags":[265,7,212,125,2401,213,6],"class_list":{"0":"post-661237","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-jacksonville-jaguars","8":"tag-american-football","9":"tag-football","10":"tag-jacksonville","11":"tag-jacksonville-jaguars","12":"tag-jacksonvillejaguars","13":"tag-jaguars","14":"tag-nfl"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/115854130936269389","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/661237","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=661237"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/661237\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/661238"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=661237"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=661237"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=661237"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/https:\/\/cloudfront-us-east-1.images.arcpublishing.com\/cmg\/Z5NWQ6NMIRBJPEH6TVL4DF3KPQ.png\")
