Trevor Lawrence led the Jacksonville Jaguars to arguably their biggest win of the season on Sunday as they snapped the 11-game winning streak of the Denver Broncos.

Lawrence, who's finally having a breakout campaign , threw for 279 yards and three touchdowns and also rushed for a score to give the Jaguars the convincing victory, 34-20, for their sixth straight win.
With the way he has been playing, Lawrence has made a believer out of The Ringer's Bill Simmons .
"I thought Lawrence was awesome today. I think that was easily the best game I've ever watched from him," said Simmons.
He admitted that he thought that the 26-year-old quarterback was already done after a series of unproductive seasons. But apparently, Lawrence, the top overall pick in 2021 , only needed a little bit more time.

"Listen, I've watched a lot of Lawrence. He just always seemed frenetic to me. I'd just given up on him. I just thought we'd seen enough. How many starts can somebody have where they're kind of they are who they are? I don't know if it's the new coach, (but) he seems more confident," added Simmons.
"I always thought he seemed kind of overwhelmed, especially in a game like the atmosphere today. I think a year ago, he throws three picks and he throws a red zone pick. I just think he would have stunk. But he was really good (against Denver)."
Simmons also gave credit to the addition of Jakobi Meyers, whom he described as a "reliable security blanket" for Lawrence.
