Trevor Lawrence didn't run the play called by coach Doug Pederson at a key point Sunday — but since it resulted in a Jaguars touchdown, everyone could have a good chuckle about it after the fact.
On a day filled with crucial plays on both sides of the ball, Lawrence’s 1-yard touchdown run on the opening drive of the third quarter was arguably one of the most important.
Had Lawrence handed the ball to Etienne, he would have scored easily. Guards Brandon Scherff and Tyler Shatley and center Luke Fortner sealed off the middle nicely and tackle Cam Robinson and Engram blocked two defenders to create a huge lane for Etienne to get through. It gave the Jaguars a 27-14 lead. They went on to score on Lawrence’s second TD pass of the day to Engram and a third Riley Patterson field goal and there would be no Music City Miracle.
“He recovered a little better than I thought he would so it was close to being a TFL [tackle for loss],” Lawrence said. “That’s one of those plays if you make it, it’s great like it was, but if you don’t make them, it’s a bad play. If you score no one is mad. If you don’t it is a different story.”
