Trevor Lawrence Praises Jaguars' New Secret Offensive Weapon

The Jacksonville Jaguars have struggled to find offensive consistency. Even during their more impressive games in the 2025 NFL season, they haven't been performing the way they want on that side of the ball, especially under a mastermind like Head Coach Liam Coen. That changed against the Los Angeles Chargers.

One of the bigger reasons that Jacksonville's attack has struggled as of late is the absence of tight end Brenton Strange. He was in the midst of a breakout season before he went on IR with a quad issue in Week 5's win over the Kansas City Chiefs. Before he went down, he had emerged as one of the most reliable targets for Trevor Lawrence in the passing game, as well as a weapon on the ground as a run-blocker.

Going into Week 11 versus LA, the Jaguars were in a dire situation, losing primary backup tight end Hunter Long, too, with Strange still unable to return even after his mandatory four-game furlough. And yet, Jacksonville dominated the Chargers 35-6, largely due to the performance of their rushing attack.
