Jaguars QB Lawrence Posts Efficient Outing, Throws 3 Touchdowns

The Jacksonville Jaguars looked polished and prepared for their first matchup since their bye week on Sunday, throttling the struggling Indianapolis Colts 42-7.

Jacksonville quickly took control of the game in the first half, jumping out to a 28-0 advantage and never looking back.

The offense once again executed in the air and the ground, while starting quarterback Trevor Lawrence once again found himself taking the fourth quarter off.

In just three quarters of action, Lawrence threw for 210 yards and three touchdowns, completing 10-of-14 passes.

Following the win, ESPN Insights noted that Lawrence's efficient outing is the first time a quarterback has thrown for three touchdowns on less than 15 passing attempts since Carson Palmer on Oct. 11, 2015.

As has been the theme since last season, Lawrence spread the wealth around to his receiving corps, with three different players hauling in his scores. 

The first touchdown, however, may have been the most significant, as Lawrence hooked up with the struggling Brian Thomas Jr. over the middle for a 12-yard score.

To cap off a 12-play, 98-yard drive, Lawrence fired a pass into Thomas' chest through the middle of the Colts' secondary, giving Thomas his first catch in three weeks.

In the second quarter, Lawrence found another unfamiliar target in rookie tight end Nate Boerkircherx, with the Texas A&M product recording his second career touchdown.

On first down, Lawrence took the snap under center and faked it to tailback Chris Rodriguez Jr., rolling out and finding Boerkircher for a 31-yard score.

This was Boerkircher's longest reception of his young career, and represents one of eight Jaguars to catch a pass from Lawrence on Sunday.

The final passing touchdown of the day came at the end of the third quarter, with starting running back Bhayshul Tuten taking a short screen pass to the house.

This was Lawrence's easiest pass of the day, and marked the end of his stellar performance.

Heading into next week, Lawrence will definitely remain one of the odds-on favorites for NFL MVP, as he continues to play like one of the top quarterbacks in the league.

The Jaguars are set to take on the reeling Baltimore Ravens, who lost Lamar Jackson on the first play from scrimmage in Sunday's loss to the Buffalo Bills.

Following the game, it was announced Jackson will be placed on injured reserve and undergo surgery, lining up a start from Tyler Huntley or a different Ravens QB.
