Jags Strike First With Lawrence's Second Touchdown Run In '24
Trevor Lawrence, the 2021 NFL playoffs' most prolific rookie quarterback, has started his second season with a bang. In the Jaguars' first game of 2024, Lawrence led a dominant drive down the middle of the field, capped off by a 10-yard touchdown run.
Lawrence's touchdown run was his second of the game, as he had previously scored on a 1-yard run in the first quarter. The Jaguars' offense looks to be in sync early on in the season, and Lawrence is a big reason why.
Lawrence's Impressive Start
Lawrence has been one of the most impressive quarterbacks in the NFL since he entered the league last year. He has a strong arm, good mobility, and a knack for making big plays. In his rookie season, Lawrence passed for over 4,000 yards and 25 touchdowns, and he led the Jaguars to a surprising 6-11 record.
Lawrence is expected to take another step forward in his second season, and he is off to a great start. In the Jaguars' first two games of the season, Lawrence has passed for over 600 yards and 6 touchdowns, and he has run for 2 touchdowns.
The Jaguars' Offense Is Clicking
The Jaguars' offense has been one of the most productive in the NFL through the first two weeks of the season. Lawrence has been playing at a high level, and he has a lot of weapons to work with.
Running back Travis Etienne is one of the most exciting young players in the NFL, and he has already rushed for over 200 yards and 2 touchdowns this season. Wide receiver Christian Kirk is another key piece of the Jaguars' offense, and he has caught over 20 passes for over 300 yards and 2 touchdowns.
The Jaguars' offensive line has also been playing well, and they have given Lawrence time to throw and Etienne room to run. The Jaguars' offense is one of the most dangerous in the NFL, and they are capable of putting up points in bunches.
The Jaguars Are a Legitimate Contender
The Jaguars were a surprise team last season, and they are looking like a legitimate contender in 2024. Lawrence is playing at a high level, the offense is clicking, and the defense is playing well.
The Jaguars have a tough schedule ahead of them, but they have the talent to compete with anyone. If they can continue to play at a high level, they could be a dark horse Super Bowl contender.
