What happened: Discussion around whether Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence can repeat his late 2025 breakout overlooks where the team already stands in 2026. Following a 13-win campaign last season, Jacksonville holds a 4-2 record and the fourth seed in the conference.

Why it matters: Per ESPN, Lawrence completed 341 of 560 passes in 2025 while posting a 29-to-12 touchdown-to-interception ratio over a full 17-game slate. Pairing that full-season efficiency with a winning mark through six games this year places him among the top tier of NFL starters rather than a streaky option.
