Through two weeks, the Jaguars have been a much better and well-rounded team than they were a season ago. Second-year quarterback Trevor Lawrence is looking much more like the franchise cornerstone he’s expected to be while the upgrades on offense have shown they can be leaned upon by the young passer.
Lawrence hasn’t had to do it all by himself, either. The team’s defense just put on a gutsy showing against the Colts where they shutout Jonathan Taylor and company to the tune of 24-0 this past Sunday.
So while this is still what I’d consider the beginning of the “soft” part of the Chargers’ schedule, you still need to take this young and hungry team seriously.
