The Jacksonville Jaguars burst out of the gate with an epic 31-21 triumph over the Indianapolis Colts, leaving the Colts puckering up to the turf in despair. Yet, fate had a plot twist ready in Week 6 when our fearless QB, Trevor Lawrence, took an unfortunate tumble in the final quarter of our clash with the Colts.

Enter C.J. Beatherd, our trusty backup QB, who donned the hero’s cape and steered the Jaguars to victory in four more heart-pounding matchups. It wasn’t all smooth sailing, though, as we stumbled against the Kansas City Chiefs and the Houston Texans in Weeks 2 and 3, giving our fans a few anxious moments. But, fellow Jags fans, don’t let those bumps in the road get you down. There’s still a spark of hope flickering brightly in Jacksonville! 

Trevor Lawrence’s comeback countdown: Days of grit and braces

Trevor Lawrence took a hit during a crucial third-and-7 play, on the Indianapolis Colts’ 16-yard line with just 3 minutes and 10 seconds to go in a wild Week 6 showdown at EverBank Stadium. He clutched his left knee, and for a heartbeat, the Jaguars’ faithful held their breath. However, Lawrence walked it off but he was still sidelined for the rest of the game. The MRI results on Monday brought a sigh of relief — a sprain, not a season-ender. But the big question loomed: Will our star be ready to roll against the New Orleans Saints at the Caesars Superdome? The turf could be a wild card in this high-stakes game of dice.

Fast forward to Tuesday, and Lawrence’s strapping was on that knee brace and hitting the practice field. Limited, sure, but he’s out there. Speaking to the media post-practice, Lawrence revealed he was counting the days till he could suit up for the Jaguars again. After all, it would mark Lawrence’s game start number 41.

Sacksonville revival: Jaguars defense roars back in 2023

Back in 2017, the Jacksonville Jaguars defense was on a tear, and they earned the badass moniker “Sacksonville” for a reason. They came second in the NFL with 55 sacks.
