Trevor Lawrence Reflects on Defeating Chiefs on MNF

There is no moment too bright for Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence. Monday night was not perfect, but in the end, the fifth-year signal-caller made the plays, wonky and all, to secure a massive home win against the reigning AFC champions and rulers of the NFL, the Kansas City Chiefs.

The Chiefs are this generation's New England Patriots, with a future Hall of Fame quarterback in Patrick Mahomes and another Hall of Fame head coach, Andy Reid. A rejuvenated franchise under head coach Liam Coen has led to a 4-1 start, with endless possibilities ahead. Lawrence discussed the feeling of meeting Mahomes and the Chiefs last night following the game.

Lawrence on beating Mahomes

Any time a team can walk onto a football field and take down a consistent juggernaut like the Chiefs, there is always a nice pat on the shoulder for the effort. Lawrence understands this, having played against Mahomes and his team in past years during the regular and postseason.

"I mean, it's a big win. Obviously, it's a good team. They've been a good team for a long time. They're hard to beat," Lawrence said. "They really are. They're really good situationally, don't beat themselves. At the end of the game they're always in it."

The former top prospect in the 2021 NFL Draft understands how hard it is to take down the Chiefs, even in a down season like they're having now. After the previous two hot matchups, Kansas City was on a roll heading into the game on Monday, representing a challenge of slowing momentum down for Lawrence & Co.
