Isn't it strange how James Robinson couldn't seem to find his way out of Urban Meyer's doghouse last year, and now he's one of the AFC's most explosive running backs? It's another example of the post-Meyer night-and-day vibes around the Jaguars, who have put together the best three-week performance in the AFC South -- by far! -- to start the season. Meanwhile, Trevor Lawrence threw three more touchdown passes and seems like a talented young quarterback ready to make the leap. After a beatdown of the Chargers in L.A., the Jags have the feel of a legitimate playoff contender in their muddled conference. That Doug Pederson guy must know what he's doing.

The Jaguars are controlling the line of scrimmage defensively and maximizing their talented QB offensively. Imagine what happens when Travis Etienne gets into the fold. The Doug Pederson bowl vs. Philadelphia is worth watching this week.

Doug Pederson has the Jags playing really. When's the last time you saw them this high, in any power ranking??

Trevor Lawrence looked crisp as the Jaguars picked apart the Chargers’ defense on Sunday. The team has moved up in this week’s power rankings. The Jaguars are seventh in points scored, sixth in yards gained, fourth in points allowed and seventh in yards allowed. The team has a +46 point differential.

The time has come to start putting some respect on the Jacksonville Jaguars' name.
It isn't just that the 2-1 Jags are in first place in the AFC South. Or that they look light-years better on both offense and defense under new head coach Doug Pederson.
The Jaguars have laid the wood to two teams that many considered contenders entering the season, outscoring the Colts and Chargers 62-10 over the past two weeks. Sunday's rout of the Chargers was arguably Jacksonville's biggest win in years, and Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence believes it sent a message to the rest of the league.
"I think the way we played you can't deny that we're that we're a really good team. But at the end of the day it doesn't really matter what it says about us. We know who we are," said Lawrence. "We played a complete game, and to stack two weeks is big for us."
Moton agrees with him.
"Between Week 18 of last season to now, the Jaguars have jumped from worst to first in the AFC South," he said. "If they didn’t have the league's worst record last year, more pundits would move them in the top 10. This young squad still has a ways to go to get the benefit of the doubt, but second-year quarterback Trevor Lawrence looks like he’s arrived on the NFL level. He's thrown for 772 yards, six touchdowns and an interception in three games."

Trevor Lawrence is playing lights-out football right now. New head coach Doug Pederson deserves some of the credit for creating easy offense and putting him in a position to succeed, but so much of Lawrence’s success comes from his ability to maximize clean pockets and make the best of his current arsenal of weapons. Free from the clutches of Urban Meyer, the second-year signal-caller ranks third behind Jalen Hurts and Tua Tagovailoa in clean-pocket EPA per dropback (0.45). The Jaguars are the biggest riser of any team on this list from last week.
