Trevor Lawrence Stellar in Rout of Browns

Sunday, September 13, 1:12 PM

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence had an easy time against the Cleveland Browns in a 34-10 win. The Jaguars destroyed the Browns on both sides of the ball, leading to four touchdown passes on just 23 attempts for the former top pick. Lawrence finished the game with 18 completions on 23 attempts, 245 yards passing, and four touchdowns to four different receivers. He spread the ball around overall, but the clear top target in this game was Parker Washington, who seemingly picked up right where he left off last season. Lawrence completed passes to nine pass catchers in total, a great sign for the offense going forward. Lawrence and the Jaguars could suffer whiplash in what will be a much harder matchup against the Denver Broncos in Week 2.

C.J. Stroud News

C.J. Stroud and Texans Agree to Put Contract Talks on Hold

Saturday, September 12, 2:48 PM

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports quarterback C.J. Stroud and the Houston Texans have mutually agreed to wait until after this season to work out a long-term deal. Both sides made a run at completing an extension before the regular season began, but both sides agreed they prefer to focus on the season at hand. Stroud is entering the final year of his rookie contract, but the team exercised his fifth-year option this April to keep him through the 2027 season. The 24-year-old has been unable to build off his historic rookie season and has struggled at times in big games. The last time we saw Stroud, he completed 20 of his 47 passes for 212 yards with one touchdown and four interceptions in a losing effort in the playoffs. Stroud will enter a critical year that will determine if he is worthy of a monster extension worth over $50 million per year.
