Trevor Lawrence affirmed his ascension as a top 10 NFL quarterback in windy, rainy conditions
In light of the holidays and things heating up in the football world, former NFL TE Rob Gronkowski stopped by Sports Seriously to play a game of 'Naughty or Nice' NFL Edition.After a methodical, efficient 19-3 victory Thursday night over the New York Jets at MetLife Stadium, quarterback Trevor Lawrence showed up for his postgame press conference in a Christmas sweater.
Talk about a gift that keeps on giving to Jacksonville, and may well haunt the Jets for the next 10-15 years. With Lawrence playing like a Pro Bowl quarterback, the surging Jaguars are now two wins away — against the Houston Texans and the first-place Tennessee Titans — from winning an AFC South title that looked to be near impossible only three weeks ago.
He did nothing against the Jaguars’ stout defense, ultimately getting benched for a no-name, former CFL quarterback, Chris Streveler, an elevated practice-squad player who had thrown only 25 NFL passes in two seasons with the Arizona Cardinals. On a night where the wind-chill factor was 38 degrees, the contrast in quarterback play was a heartwarming reminder to the Jaguars how lucky they feel to have Lawrence continuing to live up to all his pre-draft hype. For only the second time in 15 years, the Jaguars have put together a three-game win streak in December, sending a clear message that they should probably now be considered the division favorite more than the reeling Titans.
“It just kind of shows what we’re capable of doing offensively,” Pederson said of the 96-yard TD drive. “I think it just gives the guys confidence throughout the game that you can build off of.”
