Urban Meyer is taking his sweet time naming the Jaguars’ starting quarterback. It’s purely for show and to give him a sense that this is still college, the decision is already made. Lawrence keeps proving he is better than Gardner Minshew and we’ll see that on full display for this Jaguars vs Cowboys matchup.

Admittedly, Dallas is looking better defensively than expected. While the team is 0-3 thus far, much of the blame falls on the offense. Dan Quinn has injected some confidence and energy into this group and Sunday’s preseason finale is a chance to build on that momentum before the regular season.
Advantage: Trevor Lawrence
The Cowboys’ preseason is the exact opposite of what you’d project for this team in the regular season. The defense is keeping games close, but turnovers and an inability to convert in key situations mean the offense can’t keep it close. It’s not a major concern, because Dak Prescott will return, but this is still a bad look.

Advantage: Jacksonville Jaguars
Before the 2021 NFL Draft, the Jaguars placed the franchise tag on left tackle Cam Robinson. They knew there was too much risk in letting him walk and creating a hole on Lawrence’s blindside. Weeks later, Walker Little fell into their laps and things have become very interesting.

The bottom line: Trevor Lawrence, Gardner Minshew and the Dallas Cowboys. That’s really all you need to know before deciding to watch this game. NFL Network picked it for a reason and even with Dak Prescott on the sideline, Jaguars vs Cowboys is worth a few hours on Sunday.
