Lawrence has 1,439 passing yards and is completing over 67% of his throws. Four-of-7 of his touchdowns have been from the last three games.

Runningback Travis Etienne is ranked sixth in the NFL for total rushing yards; he has racked up 451 yards over six games. He has caught 21-of-24 targets and has five rushing touchdowns.

Linebacker Foyesade Olukun is first on the Jaguars and third in the NFL for tackles. He has 67 and 4.0 TFL in 2023.
