Holding nullifies TD and then Trevor Lawrence does this… https://t.co/T5MDTw6lyg Via @ArmandoSalguero on X

What happened: An offensive holding flag negates a scoring play and forces Trevor Lawrence to replay the down from further back. On the follow-up snap, Lawrence throws an interception in the end zone to leave the drive without points.

Why it matters: Empty red-zone possessions swing win probability in tight 2026 regular-season matchups where early field position dictates play-calling. The stalled series interrupts momentum for a quarterback who drew leap talk for his command earlier this season.

By the numbers: Per ESPN (as of Sept. 29, 2026), Trevor Lawrence completed 341 of 560 passes for 4,007 yards, 29 touchdowns, and 12 interceptions across 17 games in 2025 after entering the league as the No.

What to watch: The next offensive series will test how Lawrence adjusts his red-zone reads and protection calls after the penalty-marred possession.
