Trevor Lawrence debuts with loss
The season will be tough for the Jaguars, so Lawrence’s task is uncomfortable with an unbalanced team. In return, Lawrence has the ownership practically tied up and in his debut, he made his first three annotations despite a 37-21 loss to the Texans.
Lawrence connected with Chris Manhertz off a 22-yard throw for his first touchdown pass early in the second quarter. The third quarter su an accomplice was DJ Chark Jr., whom he found thanks to a 41-yard bomb.

When the game was over (37-14, with five seconds to play), Lawrence found Marvin Jones, after four yards to make up the result of the Jaguars.
If Jacksonville manages to balance defense, mainly, they can become an uncomfortable team, although they hardly look to be candidates for the postseason.
Try Lance, sheltered by Garoppolo
Unlike Trevor Lawrence, Trey Lance doesn’t have to figure it out alone in San Francisco, where he has the guidance of Jimmy Garoppolo, with whom he alternated in the game against the Detroit Lions.
In those rotation he took advantage of his second play, in which he debuted with his first touchdown pass, almost routine, as he connected with Trent Sherfield after a five-yard throw.

He will not be a protagonist in the 49ers, however, he can boast the fact of having made his debut with victory. In his first season in the NFL, can learn from Garoppolo And in the event of an injury, San Francisco could have a very good Plan B.
