Tennessee’s Nashville (AP) — On fourth-and-goal at the 1, Trevor Lawrence called his own number by extending the ball with his right arm, making him doubtful for a game that the Jacksonville Jaguars needed to win in order to make the playoffs for the second consecutive year.
With 7:13 remaining, Tennessee stopped him short. In the final play of the regular season, the Tennessee Titans defeated the Jacksonville Jaguars 28-20 on Sunday. Lawrence had one last opportunity, but he was unable to get a first down before turning the ball over on downs again with 1:47 remaining.
Lawrence defended his choice to switch to a play that he has scored on close to the goal line in the past.
Lawrence remarked, “They trusted me with those things, and it didn’t work.” “I have to accept responsibility for that, and if I choose to do that and don’t get in, that’s ultimately my fault. It’s one of those plays where I failed to score, but if you do it, you better.” It’s regrettable.
