"On a third-and-10 play in the second quarter of the Jaguars' Week 15 game against the New York Jets, Lawrence had to evade pressure, roll to his left and unload a deep throw as he was getting hit by edge rusher Will McDonald IV. When Lawrence released the ball at his own 32-yard line, wide receiver Parker Washington was on the hash marks at the Jets' 32. He made a sliding catch at the 17 just a few yards from the sideline -- 51 yards in the air, all arm, and dropped over two defenders."
"Lawrence made a lot of plays against the struggling Jets that day, throwing for 330 yards and setting career highs in passing touchdowns (five) and QBR (96.0). It was part of the best stretch of football in his five-year NFL career. In the final eight games he had 24 total touchdowns, 19 touchdown passes and five interceptions and helped the Jaguars average an NFL-best 33.6 points per game. The Jaguars won eight consecutive games to close out the regular season and win the AFC South title before a wild-card playoff loss to the Buffalo Bills ended the season."
Trevor Lawrence executed a remarkable 51-yard, under-pressure throw that led to a sliding catch by Parker Washington. Lawrence threw for 330 yards and a career-high five passing touchdowns in that game. The late-season surge included 24 total touchdowns over eight games and helped the Jaguars average 33.6 points per game. The team won eight straight to secure the AFC South title. Lawrence overcame footwork changes, learning a third offense, injuries, receiver inconsistencies, and a prior emphasis on avoiding turnovers to reach that level of play.
