The Jacksonville Jaguars have emerged as strong playoff contenders this season, holding a 7-4 record. This impressive performance comes despite significant challenges from their starting quarterback, Trevor Lawrence.
Trevor Lawrence’s Turnover Troubles
Trevor Lawrence currently leads the NFL with 14 turnovers, a statistic that raises concerns about his playing consistency. In a recent matchup against the Arizona Cardinals, he recorded four turnovers. Nevertheless, the Jaguars managed to secure a 27-24 overtime victory in that game.
Upcoming Games and Team Standing
As the Jaguars continue their push for the playoffs, they currently trail the Indianapolis Colts, who sit at 8-3, by just one game in the AFC South. Their upcoming schedule includes critical games against:
- Tennessee Titans
- Indianapolis Colts
- New York Jets
- Denver Broncos
The season concludes with a home game against the Titans, which could have playoff implications.
Lawrence’s Performance Metrics
Despite his struggles, Lawrence has thrown 14 touchdown passes and 11 interceptions, culminating in a passer rating of 79.4. This places him near the bottom among qualifying quarterbacks, just above Titans rookie Cam Ward.
Jaguars’ Playoff Prospects
As it stands, the Jaguars are in a three-way tie for wild-card playoff spots in the AFC alongside the Buffalo Bills and Los Angeles Chargers. If the Jaguars maintain their winning momentum, Lawrence could see postseason action for the second time in his five-year career.
