Winning is hard

-

Unlike Goff, who has been to a Super Bowl with the Los Angeles Rams, Lawrence has spent his short NFL career on bad teams. The Jaguars went 3-14 under Urban Meyer and interim coach Darrell Bevell last year, then got off to a slow start this year under Pederson.

That’s quite a change from his college career. Lawrence went 38-2 at Clemson, won a national

championsh­ip and made two other trips to the College Football Playoff.

“After the struggles we’ve had in the last year and a half, I’ve learned how much harder it is to win in the NFL compared to college,” he said. “I was used to winning, and I had to change my perspectiv­e a little bit.

“It takes a lot, but we now have the confidence we can go out and beat anybody.”

So do the Lions, which could make this an interestin­g matchup.
