Trevor Tracker: 2025 Week 12 Edition

Welcome back to our weekly Trevor Lawrence breakdown!

As you'll discover, this column has had a bit of a facelift. Rather than reviewing Lawrence's tape and stats on a binary level (good plays vs bad plays) we're going to take it a step further. Now, you'll find multiple charts showing Lawrence's stats in various passing splits. I'll be picking and choosing which charts to add written context and film clips.

This column will surely continue to evolve to provide the best possible analysis of Jacksonville's $275 million quarterback.

Let's get to it!

Let's focus on blitz/pressure splits today.

According to Next Gen Stats, the Cardinals blitzed Lawrence on 34.3% of his dropbacks, his third-highest rate in a game this season.

The first blitz came on his second dropback of the game. Jacksonville got into the redzone in a hurry behind a 30-yard catch by Brenton Strange on a sail route and a 45-yard scamper by Travis Etienne on a mid-zone run.

Arizona called a five-man blitz with man coverage and a single high safety on the backend. Once Lawrence recognized the coverage, and that he slung the rock to his former college teammate. Etienne took care of the rest.

Lawrence hit paydirt against the blitz again after about 30 minutes of game time.

Arizona sent the house, rushing seven defenders with nobody responsible for covering the running back. LeQuint Allen stayed in to protect anyway, as did Strange, yet two defenders still found a free rushing lane.

Lawrence caught the snap and immediately began drifting back, then uncorked a perfect ball to Jakobi Meyers, who's already become his most trusted target.

The location and the timing of the throw were equally superb. Since the defender covering Meyers held inside leverage, Lawrence had to hold the ball an extra split second to allow Meyers time to cross the defender's face and gain leverage for the catch.

Crazy good play by Lawrence. He had a similar one near the end of regulation.

After committing his fourth turnover of the game (we'll get to those), Lawrence walked the offense down the field and threw a touchdown to Parker Washington to tie the game.

All three of his touchdowns were in the redzone and against the blitz. On this final one, Jacksonville lined up under center in a 2-TE package. Lawrence faked the handoff, stepped up in the pocket, and delivered another perfect pass to a seemingly blanketed receiver.

His traditional passing numbers against the blitz in this game: 7-for-11 for 78 yards, 3 touchdowns, 1 interception, and 1 fumble lost. Lawrence also took 2 sacks and had 1 scramble, which went for a first down.

Let's get to those negative plays.
