Trevor Lawrence bounces back from early sack, turns in solid debut as Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Trevor Lawrence's first NFL snap ended with a sack that nearly turned into a fumble, but the Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback didn't let that rattle him.

The 2021 No. 1 overall draft pick bounced back from that inauspicious start and turned in a solid but unspectacular performance in the Jaguars' 23-13 loss to the Cleveland Browns at TIAA Bank Field on Saturday night. Lawrence threw for 71 yards -- including a 35-yarder to Marvin Jones Jr. to convert a third down -- but failed to lead the first-team offense to any points in his two possessions and admittedly held onto the ball too long at times.
