Trevor Lawrence’s Late Surge Propels Jaguars to 12-4 With No. 1 Seed Still in Play
Under first-year coach Liam Coen, a timing-driven scheme has unlocked Lawrence’s dual-threat efficiency and elevated Jacksonville’s ceiling.
Overview
- Jacksonville has won seven straight, clinched a playoff berth, and enters Week 18 with a path to the AFC’s top seed depending on other results.
- Lawrence joined a rare group with at least 25 passing touchdowns and nine rushing scores in a season, a club that includes Josh Allen, Kyler Murray, and Cam Newton.
- Over his last five games, he has thrown 12 touchdown passes against one interception and added four rushing touchdowns.
- He set a Super Bowl era fantasy playoff record with 98.58 points across Weeks 15–17, according to ESPN’s Field Yates.
- Coen’s arrival has driven a dramatic turnaround from 4-13 to 12 wins, with Lawrence posting career highs in rushing yards and rushing touchdowns ahead of a Week 18 trip to Tennessee.
