Trevor Lawrence throws tablet, gets into heated argument with Gabe Davis on Jaguars sideline
Everything kept getting worse in Jacksonville before the team’s first win.Quarterback Trevor Lawrence and wideout Gabe Davis got “into it” on the sidelines following a Jaguars drive with Lawrence reportedly throwing a tablet and Davis yelling at him, according to multiple reports citing the CBS broadcast.The sideline report didn’t include video of the incident, but the heated exchange reportedly followed a sequence on third down where Lawrence threw an incomplete pass and seemingly missed Davis — open while running a different route — to end a Jacksonville drive with just over four minutes left in the opening quarter.It marked the latest low point in a rocky start to the 2024 season for the Jaguars, who, before a late-season collapse last year, had emerged as AFC contenders.They started 0-4 this season entering Sunday’s game against the Colts, with Lawrence completing just 53 percent of his passes for just four touchdowns and one interception.The Jaguars eventually won, 37-34, however to improve to 1-4.The issues have stretched beyond their offense — Jacksonville’s defense was torched during a “Monday Night Football” blowout against the Bills in Week 3, allowing 34 points in the first half and 47 overall — with the season already spiraling out of control, though head coach Doug Pederson insisted Wednesday that he hasn’t lost the locker room.“I would know,” Pederson told reporters.
“I talk to these guys every day, I see them every day.”But given Lawrence’s status as a former No.1 overall pick and the recipient of a five-year, $275 million extension in June, the 25-year-old has been subject to increased pressure and scrutiny.That continued Sunday, when he threw an interception.But Lawrence also flashed the talent that made him one of the top signal-callers in the league when he connected with rookie wideout Brian Thomas Jr.
