“I’ve got to play better…”

LONDON – Trevor Lawrence put it succinctly and clearly.

The Jaguars’ starting quarterback threw two interceptions Sunday in the team’s fifth consecutive late-game loss, with both turnovers coming at critical times.

“I’ve got to look in the mirror and I’ve got to play better,” Lawrence said after the Jaguars’ 21-17 loss to the Denver Broncos at Wembley Stadium Sunday afternoon.

Lawrence, the No. 1 selection in the 2021 NFL Draft, completed 18 of 33 passes for 133 yards and a touchdown Sunday. He threw a first-quarter touchdown pass to give the Jaguars an early lead and he led a clutch fourth-quarter drive to give them a late one.

But he also threw a second-quarter end-zone interception. That was his first interception Sunday. His second interception ended the Jaguars’ hopes at a comeback.

“Listen: We still have a lot of trust and a lot of faith in him,” Jaguars Head Coach Doug Pederson said. “We’re just going to continue to grow. We’re going to grow together. I just told him to keep his head up, stay confident. I want to put the ball back in his hands and just show the trust that we have, that I have in him and that the team has.

“He knows that we’ve got to be better in a few situations, but again, those are really good learning opportunities for Trevor.”

Teammates agreed, with running back Travis Etienne Jr. saying, “I was just telling Trev: ‘It’s never on you; it’s a team sport.”

“Football is played with 11 men on the field at that time a time and not one man is going to be the whole show,” said Etienne, Lawrence’s teammate for three seasons at Clemson University. “We just have to get 11 on the field, each of us doing our job, and that’s how we’re going to be better.”

Lawrence this season has thrown six interceptions, including three in the red zone. Two of the red-zone interceptions have come in the end zone – one in a 13-6 loss to the Houston Texans in Week 5 and another in the end zone Sunday. Sunday’s came on first-and-goal from the one with the Jaguars leading,…
