Even though Lovie Smith has a 3-0 record against Trevor Lawrence since joining the Houston Texans in 2021, the coach nevertheless believes the Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback has demonstrated a large enough sample size to be defined as a “good football player.”
The Texans beat the Jaguars in Week 5 to send Jacksonville to 2-2. The Jaguars faded to 3-7 going into their Week 11 bye, but have won four of their last five to improve their record to 7-8 and have a realistic shot at wresting control of the AFC South from the similarly 7-8 Tennessee Titans.
