Trevor Lawrence fuels Jaguars’ AFC South ambitions in critical matchup against Titans
Jacksonville, Fla. — As the Jacksonville Jaguars prepare for their Week 18 showdown against the Tennessee Titans, quarterback Trevor Lawrence finds himself on the brink of securing a second AFC South title. With only one game standing between the Jaguars and another division championship, Lawrence reflects on the significance of this moment for the franchise.
The stakes couldn’t be higher as the Jaguars gear up for their regular-season finale. Since being selected first overall in the 2021 NFL Draft, Lawrence has experienced his fair share of high-pressure situations. The Jaguars, once mired in mediocrity with just a single winning season over the last decade, now stand on the cusp of playoff contention, thanks in no small part to Lawrence’s leadership. A victory this week would mark only the third AFC South title in franchise history.
Throughout the season, the Jaguars have maintained a disciplined approach, avoiding the temptation to look too far ahead. However, the moment has arrived to embrace the potential for greater achievements.
“You can talk about winning the division because it’s what we’ve got an opportunity to do, and it’s one game,” Lawrence stated. “We weren’t in this position yet. We had to win all those games to get to this point and continue to control the division. And that’s what we did, none bigger than this one. We’re here to win the division this week against a Titans team that presented challenges for us last time we played them up there. We need to improve in certain areas and put together a solid game plan.”
The Jaguars face an uphill battle against a Titans squad that has tested them in the past, including their earlier matchup this season at Nissan Stadium. As the pressure mounts, Jacksonville will rely on Lawrence’s ability to navigate the high stakes and drive the team toward its goal. With the division title within reach, the Jaguars are focused and ready to seize the opportunity that lies ahead.
