The Jacksonville Jaguars might’ve lost Saturday’s AFC divisional round game to the Kansas City Chiefs, but they continue to win in having quarterback Trevor Lawrence on the team.
After the Jags’ lost to Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs, 27-20, Lawrence stood in the team’s visitors tunnel at Arrowhead Stadium and encouraged as many of his teammates as he could.
It’s one of those gestures you just can’t teach, and a big example of why Jacksonville’s 2022 revival after the Urban Meyer 2021 debacle has been in part due to Lawrence’s sterling leadership.
Even though the Jags won’t be advancing, the team can rest easy knowing Lawrence is the one at the helm of their team for years to come.

The folks in Duval will certainly be hoping to see more Lawrence theatrics in the seasons to come. For now, they got to see a softer side of their franchise quarterback.
Good on Lawrence for being there for his teammates after a tough loss. Jacksonville’s future is bright with No. 16 leading the way.
