The full episode, in writing
Third and seven at the Cleveland 30, eight 18 left in the first quarter, no score, the eighth play of the drive that followed Foyesade Oluokun's interception, which had handed Jacksonville the ball at its own 41: Trevor Lawrence out of the shotgun, deep right to Parker Washington, 30 yards, touchdown. That throw was worth +3.9 expected points added — expected points added is what a play was worth given down, distance and field position — and nine points of win probability, the largest swing any Jacksonville offensive play produced all day. Three more touchdown throws followed, each to someone else: four yards to Josh Cameron on second and four with one 47 left in the first; 14 to Brenton Strange on first and 10 with six 24 left in the half; 32 to Jakobi Meyers on second and 19, deep left, with 12 18 left in the third. Four touchdowns, four receivers, three of them wide receivers and one a tight end.
The line: 18 completions on 23 throws, 245 yards, four touchdowns, no interceptions, one sack — third and one at the Jacksonville 33 with two minutes left in the half, Mason Graham, 11 yards, punt. 24 pass plays in all, worth +19 expected points, and the split was 19 pass plays before halftime, a hundred 66 passing yards on 18 throws and +13, then five after it for 79 yards and +6. Two of the five second-half pass plays were a 22-yard catch by Bhayshul Tuten and the Meyers touchdown. The five incompletions: two in the first quarter that the play-by-play records with no intended receiver, a deep one for Washington on second and one, a short one to Quintin Morris, a short one to Strange that Grant Delpit broke up. 242 air yards on 23 throws.
Jacksonville ran 32 times and had 24 pass plays, and after halftime the count was 15 runs to five pass plays with a lead of at least 24 points. The Jaguars converted five of nine third downs; Lawrence threw for two of them and sneaked for a third, up the middle on third and one from the 40 in the third quarter. Mullens took the last three snaps, all kneels. Lawrence ran twice for three yards.
Back in June the preview called Lawrence an MVP finalist priced ninth among quarterbacks — a fourth-place season by per-game scoring in year one of Liam Coen's system, played across all 17 games. Sunday was the shape of that argument in miniature: four scores on 23 throws, with the offense pulling the ball back once the lead was three touchdowns. One game in a rout against one defense does not confirm a rank; it does say the efficiency the preview was buying showed up on the first afternoon. Jacksonville is at the Broncos on Sunday the twentieth.
