Jaguars' Trevor Lawrence did something Sunday he had never done in his NFL career image

Trevor Lawrence didn't play his best football game Sunday in Arizona.

Despite that, the Jacksonville Jaguars still beat the Cardinals.

In fact, they did it in a way Lawrence had never done in his NFL career. They won a game in which he had three turnovers for the first time ever, according to NFL.com.

It was actually four turnovers for Lawrence.

"It wasn’t a pretty day for Trevor Lawrence, who threw three interceptions and fumbled for a Cardinals touchdown," NFL.com's Kevin Patra wrote. "The Jags generated just 18 first downs and went 3 of 11 on third downs for the game. In the first half, Lawrence was particularly discombobulated, completing just three of eight passes for 51 yards and a score. The Cards made life difficult on Lawrence and generated three second-half INTs, including some excellent plays on the ball.

"Lawrence missed a host of passes but made the ones he needed late to overcome the miscues. Trailing deep into the game, Lawrence rifled a seed to Parker Washington for the go-ahead score. After the Cards forced overtime, Lawrence connected with Washington again for a 25-yarder to help set up the game-winning field goal. Brenton Strange's return was huge for the Jags' offense. The tight end led Jacksonville with five catches for 93 yards as Lawrence’s security blanket. The turnovers will stick out, but the Jags got a huge win for their playoff push."

It's the kind of win the Jags needed to get. They're now 7-4, only one game behind the Indianapolis Colts in the AFC South. They still play one another twice this season.

Good teams win even when they struggle. That's what the Jags are trying to prove they can be.

On Sunday, that's what they were. Lawrence struggled, but he delivered when it mattered, just as his teammates did.
