Trevor Lawrence was heating up before Week 9.
The Jacksonville Jaguars' once and future franchise quarterback had begun to bounce back after a wretched start to his 2024 season. He'd been responsible for nearly 21 expected points added (EPA) between a blowout win over the New England Patriots and a narrow loss to the Green Bay Packers, playing like a top-five passer in that span.
Then, the wheels came off in Philadelphia. Lawrence completed barely more than half his passes in a 28-23 loss to the Eagles. He threw two interceptions. He suffered a left shoulder injury that could not only keep him out of Week 10's matchup with the Minnesota Vikings but cost Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson his job.
