Jaguars' Trevor Lawrence: Turnover-free effort in close loss
Lawrence completed 17 of 24 passes for 204 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions in the Jaguars' 24-21 loss to the Bengals on Thursday night. He also rushed eight times for 36 yards and a touchdown.
Lawrence lost his duel with fellow first overall pick Joe Burrow, albeit by a much tighter margin than many projected coming in. This year's top selection was particularly impressive during the first half, when he led the Jaguars to a surprising 14-0 lead. Lawrence often zeroed in on the sure-handed and versatile Laviska Shenault, whom he connected with on a team-high six occasions for 99 yards, and he persevered despite losing DJ Chark to a fractured ankle in the first half. While Lawrence and the Jaguars offense fell mostly flat as a whole in the second half, the fact that this was the rookie's first turnover-free performance was certainly a step in the right direction. Lawrence will look to carry over the positive momentum into a Week 5 divisional home battle against the Titans a week from Sunday.
