Jaguars Coach Gives His Side of Tense Exchange With Trevor Lawrence During Bengals Loss

The Jaguars' 31-27 loss to the Bengals in Week 2 was bad for all sorts of reasons. Cincinnati beat Jacksonville despite losing Joe Burrow in the early going to a toe injury. The Jags had a 27-24 lead and the ball in the red zone with fewer than four minutes remaining. Travis Hunter was flagged for a questionable pass interference penalty to put the Bengals in position to take the lead. The list goes on; there were not many positives to take away from the defeat for rookie head coach Liam Coen.

To add insult to injury, quarterback Trevor Lawrence and Coen got into a tense exchange while the QB was on the field late in the defeat. Lawrence missed a throw high and Coen seemed very frustrated, yelling at his quarterback while slamming his chest. Lawrence then literally waved Coen off, and it was all captured by the broadcast cameras.
