San Francisco - 30, Jacksonville - 10
Q. Trevor, could you just talk about where you guys go from this point forward. You've always maintained a very optimistic attitude. Tough day today. It just didn't seem like there was a whole lot of positivity that came out of this game.
TREVOR LAWRENCE: Yeah, there's not much left to say. Like you said, just got to keep going. Season's not going to get cancelled. We've got seven more games -- eight more games. Seven or eight? Seven. Seven more games left. We've got a lot of ball left.
Just get better every week. Yeah, I'm not going to sit up here and say all the positive things that came out of it. There's not much of it today. Got our butt kicked. Didn't look good all the way around.
Where you go from here, keep going to work. Everybody stay together. Keep fighting. I know I will. I'm never going to quit. I know we've got enough guys to turn this thing around. It's up to us. We've got to make that decision. So just got to keep working.
Q. Trevor, you've not dealt with anything like this before in your career, high school, college obviously. How tough is this for you to go through? What are you relying on to kind of help you get through this mentally?
TREVOR LAWRENCE: Just everybody, the whole team. We've got a lot of guys, especially in the quarterback room. A lot of the coaching staff as well.
The team's done a great job of sticking together just throughout all the good and bad that's happened. Obviously, that's going to be -- like I said, that's the main thing right now is just continue to do that. We have seven games left. We've got to just stick together, keep fighting, and go play our best ball moving forward.
You kind of see in years past other teams, maybe even here, wherever, at the end of the season just keeps going downhill. We're not going to do that. So just to keep fighting. We've got to put better stuff out there on the field. Man, that was bad today.
Yeah, we'll have to watch the tape. I can't give you guys too many answers right now. I've got to go watch it. We've just got to be better.
Q. Trevor, I'm sure there's some frustrations with how the offense looked on the field today. What were those discussions with your receivers on the sideline like during the game today?
TREVOR LAWRENCE: Just trying to get on the same page. San Francisco did a nice job. They didn't do anything too complicated, but they played a lot of man coverage, and it's not something they've done a lot of in the past. They're a big zone team, besides on third down. They came out and challenged us and played a lot of man.
We had some good adjustments. We got to some things. Made a few plays early on after the first two drives, kind of settled in on that long drive. But we've got to communicate better. We've got to put each other in better situations.
That was just kind of us trying to figure out what we wanted to do, make sure we're on the same page. If I wanted to change to a certain look or whatever it was, just make sure we're all good.
I thought at the end we put together a nice drive. So that was good at least.
Q. In the past when you've had a slump as an offense at whatever level, what gets you out of it? I know it hasn't been something that's been this long, this extended in your past. But what is it that's gotten you out of being in a slump previously?
TREVOR LAWRENCE: Yeah, I don't think there's one answer to that. Something definitely that's helped in the past is you just need a spark. You need guys to make plays. It's all of us. It's me. It's receivers, running backs, wideouts. It's just everybody. Someone make a play, get some momentum. We just didn't. We didn't make any big plays today. So we've got to be better. We could have used a few sparks.
You saw we were starting to do that as the year went on, and the past few games offensively haven't been great. So we've got to find that again. But like I said, we still need to -- I don't want to say too much until I watch the tape and see for sure.
Q. What were your conversations with -- I know obviously you talked primarily to Schottenheimer during the game, but what were your conversations with Bevell following the game, during the game, as far as the play calling went?
TREVOR LAWRENCE: It's similar. Like offensive coordinator and quarterback, you're going to catch all the good things when you're playing well and catch all the bad when things aren't going well on offense.
We just all got to -- we've got to help each other out. We've got to help Bev out. There's only so much he can do. He's the one calling the plays. We're the ones out there on the field. We've got to make plays, and we have to be better.
We haven't had a detailed conversation yet. I talked to him right after. I got his back. We're in it together. I know he's the same way with me. So I'm not concerned about that. Like I said, I just need to watch it, and we need to get together and talk about some things and see.
But I thought that we had a good game plan. I thought we had answers. For whatever reason, first drive three and out, missed a throw there. Then the next drive turned it over. Then San Francisco, I mean, they held the ball for forever. They had a great game plan, used the clock, time of possession. They did a good job.
Then we had that long drive at the end of the first half, had a little bit of momentum. Then coming out of halftime stalled out again. Just consistently playing better, putting drives together. Our defense holds them on that first drive. That was like 10 or 11 -- it might have been 12 minutes long.
Q. 13.
TREVOR LAWRENCE: It was 13 minutes long, but we held them to three points. After all that, they only got three points out of it. You can't go three and out right there. We were on the field for probably 40 seconds. You can't do that. We've got to help them, and that's all of us playing better, being in the right situation.
Yeah, that's one example of didn't play complementary at all. And we were minus 2 in the margin. So that went into it too.
Q. There's a level of expectation for captains. Did Rayshawn Jenkins say anything in the locker room afterwards? Was he even there? In terms of what he did in the first quarter there.
TREVOR LAWRENCE: I didn't really even see what happened honestly. He was in there, though, and he was in there at halftime talking to everybody and just encouraging everybody. His spirits were all right. I don't even really know what happened. We got his back. Nothing's going to change.
Q. Trevor, it looked like in the third quarter on the second three and out, you were looking at the sideline, and you put the palms out like open up the playbook. Can you elaborate on that and what you actually meant with that?
TREVOR LAWRENCE: That's not what I meant. That's part of our offense, so I can't elaborate too much on that. That's not what I meant, no. That's funny you say that, though. No, that's just one of our signals. So trying to get that communicated to all of our guys, change the look.
Q. I know you and Urban arms around each other, he had his arm on your shoulder, whatever, at the end of the game there. Was that a moment where you guys are trying to just get through it or just figure out what's going on, or is it one of those conversations of hang in there, better things are ahead type of thing?
TREVOR LAWRENCE: A little bit of all. Just him encouraging me, just talking for a quick second. Obviously, that's tough. You go out there and you prepare and you work hard to put that on the field, it's like, gosh, it sucks. It's a bad feeling.
So I just told him I'm going to keep fighting. Like it doesn't matter the situation, I'm always going to be me. Don't have to worry about me. I'm going to keep being the same guy, coming back every day, grinding. We've got a lot of guys like that.
There's not a magic pill, like this is what we need to do to fix it. We all just have to take ownership and be better. Until we do that, it's going to be the same thing. We've got to keep going, keep going back to work, and it will come. This is definitely disappointing.
