Trevor Lawrence’s dominant 41-7 win over Tennessee not only set a franchise record but also earned him a flashy mouth-grille from teammates, as the Jaguars lock in a playoff spot and top-seeded berth.
Record-Setting Performance
Trevor Lawrence finished the season with 38 total touchdowns-29 passing and 9 rushing-surpassing Blake Bortles’ 37-year-old mark. He also became the team’s second-most passing-yard leader with over 4,000 yards, trailing only Mark Brunell. The 22nd interception of the season broke the club record set in 2017.
Playoff Implications
Jacksonville (13-4) clinched the AFC South and earned a home playoff game, becoming the No. 3 seed in the conference. They will host the Buffalo Bills (12-5) in a wild-card matchup next weekend, a game no opponent wants to face after an eight-game winning streak.
Teammate Gift
After the victory, teammates presented Lawrence with a diamond-covered mouth grille, a light-hearted tribute to his record run. He slipped it on, posed for photos, and mimicked a viral AI image that had circulated weeks earlier.
