Trevor Lawrence On State Of Jaguars: 'We Suck Right Now'

The Jacksonville Jaguars blew a lead against the Miami Dolphins in Week One of the NFL season, then went down 16-3 against the Cleveland Browns before losing on Sunday.

Not an ideal start for a team that has playoff aspirations.

"We suck right now," quarterback Trevor Lawrence told reporters.

Jacksonville scored 17 points against the Dolphins but mustered just 13 against the Browns. The Jags did hold Cleveland to just a safety after falling behind by a 16-3 count. But Lawrence's Hail Mary pass in the end zone was well-defended on the game's final play — and 0-2 is where the Jaguars are today.

"I'm pretty shocked," Lawrence said. "We had a great offseason, great training camp, and we got to figure it out. We know we got a good group, we got good players, and we can be a really good offense, but clearly we're not. Everybody's got to take accountability, look in the mirror and fix it.

"I got to play better, I'm the leader of this offense, it's on me. Wideouts gotta play better, line's gotta play better, running backs gotta play better, gotta coach better. It's everybody, honestly."

Lawrence suggested that the Jaguars seem to lack a certain degree of passion.

"We're standing around, we've got to take charge," he said. "We're standing around waiting on somebody to make a play. Defense is playing their ass off the last two weeks. If a team doesn't score more than 20 points on us, we should win every week."
