The killer of this game that pretty much cost them was the 1 yard line. They had 4 tries. Could not get into the endzone. The Jaguars have a history of this nonsense. 1 yard. That would have sealed the win. But, they couldn't get one damn yard.

Speaking of the 1 yard line shenanigans, I believe it was the 3rd down play where Trevor had a read-option play and still handed off the ball, even when the edge rusher crashed down heavily, which otherwise would have been a walk-in touchdown.

That one falls on him as well for making a poor read and not pulling that ball and waltzing into the endzone.

Yeah, I remember discussing that in the game thread...  We'll never know, but there's a possibility that the coaches told him that he had to hand off the ball.  The RPO was just a "redirect".  

The reason I say this is because Lawrence NEVER keeps the ball on these RPO plays.  At least not since 2022.

Edit: I said he never keeps the ball on the RPOs. I'm sure there are a couple times he has. But, from my memory, the vast majority of the time, he gives the ball to the rusher.
