"He threw a dime in the back of the end zone," Coen said. "We don't make a play. I was very pleased with [Lawrence's] competitive nature. The way he stayed calm on the sidelines. He's pretty even keeled, which is good for me. I need that."
"Coach is really passionate, which is something that I've noticed ever since he's been here," Lawrence said. "I love that about him, and we'll get fired up. There's times where I'm not always that way, I'm kind of a little more like this [holding his hands on a level line], but he's honestly brought a little bit more of that out of me, which I think has been good for our offense."
The Bengals defeated the Jaguars 31-27 at Paycor Stadium. Head coach Liam Coen admitted he was angry after Trevor Lawrence missed a potential touchdown throw and gestured that he wanted the ball thrown to Dyami Brown's body instead of higher on second-and-goal from the Cincinnati 7. Coen described his reaction as emotional and not personal. Coen then praised Lawrence's next throw to Brian Thomas Jr., which fell incomplete after bouncing off Thomas' hands, and complimented Lawrence's competitive nature and composure on the sidelines. Lawrence said he appreciates Coen's passion and that the coach's enthusiasm has brought more emotion to his play, which has helped the offense.
