Trevor Lawrence bombed his way into the Jacksonville Jaguars record books Sunday at the New England Patriots.
The Jaguars were trailing 7-0 after Jacksonville native Mac Jones led the Patriots on a 13-play scoring drive that ended in a Damien Harris touchdown run. Not to be outdone, Lawrence answered back the following drive.
The No. 1 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft was coming off a nice 15-yard scramble on third-and-6 when he uncorked a 40-yard strike into the arms of wide receiver Laquon Treadwell. The pass landed perfectly over Jalen Mills and Myles Bryant with a third Patriots defender in the vicinity.

The bomb was Lawrence's fifth 40-yard completion of the season. It also gave him the franchise record for passing yards by a rookie with 3,281 on the season. He broke Gardner Minshew's record of 3,271 set in 2019.
Lawrence already held the franchise completions record with 319 heading into Sunday's game.

The pass was exactly what Jaguars fans had been hoping to see all season. Here's what Jags reporters and national analysts had to say:
That 40-yard deep ball from Trevor to Treadwell into double coverage was special throw and catch. Trevor released knowing he was taking big hit by Davin Godchaux. #Jaguars

For the Jaguars to have any chance, they are going to need more downfield shots like that 40-yard strike to Treadwell.
