JACKSONVILLE – This was a brief look, and the look was fine.
Quarterback Trevor Lawrence and the first-team offense played one series. So did the first-team defense. That was pretty much it for the Jaguars’ starters Saturday night in what became a loss in the 2025 preseason opener.
Lawrence completed six of seven passes for 43 yards in his first game in Head Coach Liam Coen’s offense, and Lawrence’s series was among the key storylines as the Jaguars lost to the Steelers, 31-25, in front of 58,316 at EverBank Stadium.
Saturday also featured one of the most memorable moments in Jaguars preseason history, with second-year kicker Cam Little converting a 70-yard field goal on the last play of the first half.
The kick would have broken the NFL record for longest field goal of 66 yards by former Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker had it been in the regular season.
Lawrence during his brief playing time was accurate and poised, driving the Jaguars 44 yards on 12 plays on an opening possession that ended with a 41-yard field goal by Little. The Jaguars’ first-team offense left the game after that.
