ARLINGTON, Texas – The Jaguars' offense needed something before the preseason ended.
Call it a spark or the right tempo. Or maybe it was just a touchdown from a first-team offense that had been stuck in neutral in two preseason losses to the Cleveland Browns and New Orleans Saints.
It took five plays in the preseason finale to get the spark.
That was when rookie quarterback Trevor Lawrence dropped a 38-yard pass right into the arms of wide receiver Phillip Dorsett II. That set up a touchdown pass to wide receiver Pharoh Cooper – and the offense and Lawrence were on their way to their best performance of the 2021 preseason.
Head coach Urban Meyer had challenged his veteran NFL offensive brain-trust of offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell and passing game coordinator Brian Schottenheimer to find a way to create a rhythm.
The solution?
A turn towards Lawrence's college days with more shotgun snaps, rollouts and bubble screens.
"Obviously, it's something he did in college, and he is comfortable with it," Meyer said after Lawrence completed 11 of 12 passes for 139 yards and two touchdowns in a 34-14 victory over the Dallas Cowboys in the 2021 preseason finale at AT&T Stadium Sunday.
"I liked the rhythm and I like that on third and four we took a shot, I want to be more aggressive, and Bev did a great job. We're going to find a way to do what a player does well."
