Lawrence Collects Well-Deserved NFL Honor

This week, Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback and former Clemson star Trevor Lawrence collected a well-deserved NFL honor.

The NFL announced that Lawrence was named the AFC Offensive Player of the Month for December and the final regular season game on Jan. 4.

Lawrence finished the 2025 regular season on a heater, as he went 105-of-165 passing for 1,371 yards, 13 touchdowns and just one interception in his team’s final five games, while also rushing for 124 yards and four touchdowns on 25 carries over those contests.

More on Lawrence’s highly impressive – and historic – stretch, via a press release from the Jaguars:

He led the AFC in both passing yards and passing touchdowns during that span [since the start of December] and ranked in the top six among AFC quarterbacks in all the aforementioned categories. Lawrence was also the only AFC player to account for multiple touchdowns in every game in Weeks 14-18 and had a passer rating above 100.0 in four of five games, including the two highest marks of his career (136.7 vs. NYJ in Week 15, 131.9 vs. TEN in Week 18).

In the Jaguars’ 48-20 Week 15 win, Lawrence became the only player in NFL history with at least five passing TDs, 300 passing yards, one rushing TD, and 50 rushing yards in a single game. He received player of the week honors for his performance. In a 34-20 victory the following week at Denver, he became the third player in NFL history to have at least 275 passing yards, three passing touchdowns and one rushing touchdown in consecutive games. Over that two-game span, Lawrence accounted for 10 total touchdowns and zero turnovers, becoming the fourth player in NFL history to do so, joining QBs Josh Allen (2024), Drew Brees (2019) and Patrick Mahomes (2018). In Week 18 against the Titans, Lawrence broke the single-season franchise record for total touchdowns in a season (38) and reached 4,000 passing yards for the third time in the last four seasons.

This marks the first player of the month award for Lawrence, who led the Jaguars to wins in each of their final eight regular season games en route to their first AFC South title since 2022.

Overall, the 2021 No. 1 overall draft pick finished the 2025 regular season with a 60.9 percent completion percentage, 4,007 passing yards and 29 passing touchdowns with 12 interceptions. He also rushed 82 times for 359 yards and nine more scores on the ground.

Lawrence finished the regular season ranking sixth in the NFL in passing yards and fifth in passing touchdowns.

Lawrence and the third-seeded Jaguars (13-4) are set to host the No. 6 seed Buffalo Bills (12-5) in an AFC Wild Card Playoff Game on Sunday (1 p.m., CBS).
