| Trevor Lawrence games | Dropbacks | % of Passes Beyond 1st Down Marker | Completion % | Passer Rating | Passing Grade |
| Week 6 vs MIA | 44 | 29% | 61% | 93.4 | 82.3 |
| Week 5 vs TEN | 38 | 45% | 70% | 92.1 | 56.1 |
| Week 4 vs CIN | 28 | 29% | 71% | 96.5 | 73.5 |
| Week 3 vs ARZ | 40 | 44% | 65% | 68.1 | 50.3 |
Turning a corner, over the hump, cleared the hurdle — the adages apply when talking about Lawrence’s progression over the last month. While he’s had his share of rough moments in his inaugural NFL campaign, his performances are beginning to level off.
Lawrence is learning an invaluable lesson in professional quarterbacking — what you’re singularly capable of is rarely more important than knowing how to counter the way defenses are playing. Luckily, Lawrence has been a fast learner.
