Trevor Lawrence on odd kneeldown: I was just trying to help Bhayshul Tuten fantasy owners
The Jaguars won in a laugher against the Patriots on Sunday and that made it much easier to laugh about an odd choice that Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence made in the fourth quarter of the game.
On Sunday, the Jaguars defeated the Patriots 35-6, allowing Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence to make an unusual decision in the fourth quarter of the game. With eight minutes remaining, Lawrence ran through the Patriots defense and had no one between him and the end zone when he elected to take a knee on the 1-yard line. The peculiar choice led to running back Bhayshul Tuten securing the final yard on the subsequent play, securing the Jags' points in a dominant victory.
Despite the laughter that followed Lawrence's decision in most quarters, the Jaguars quarterback explained his rationale on CBS after the game. He stated that his team often discusses such plays to kill clock, and he believes he was overusing the clock with ample time left. Lawrence acknowledged it might have been unnecessary to take that much time, but emphasized that his team aimed to limit the Patriots' chances of scoring again.
They even called a timeout after the play. While Lawrence admitted the decision wasn't ideal, his fantasy owners might disagree, as they likely cheered the successful play.
