FOX Sports’ NFL experts provide the biggest takeaways from every Sunday game in Week 6 and what they mean for each team going forward.
Jaguars: It may be time to have a discussion about Trevor Lawrence. One of the highest-paid quarterbacks in the league was outdueled by a rookie on Sunday in London. After a delay in their flight due to the weather in Florida, the Jaguars were inevitably jetlagged, but this can’t be all their offense is capable of. They even had tight end Evan Engram back from injury, and he caught all 10 of his targets for over 100 yards. The Jags offense just has no real rhythm or dimension to it, and it was especially hard to get the running game going given that the Bears jumped out to a 21-3 lead by the third quarter. Lawrence was tied for the most completions over 20 yards coming into the game, even, but there weren’t enough chunk plays against this stingy Chicago defense. With that tool missing from their toolbox, everything looked difficult. There’s not a whole lot going right for the 1-5 Jaguars right now. They’ll be in London this whole week trying to get right and face what looks like a must-win against the Patriots next Sunday.
Bears: It may have been another week against a struggling opponent, but the Bears are now 4-2 on the season and have seen more improvement from quarterback Caleb Williams, who went 23 of 29 with four touchdown passes. His 79.3% completion percentage was the best ever for an NFL rookie with four TDs and 25-plus passes in a game.
In the bigger picture, we saw veteran wide receiver Keenan Allen involved in the offense for the first time. Allen was the last of the Bears’ offensive weapons that had yet to have a breakout game. First it was tight end Cole Kmet, who continues to be a safety blanket for Williams, catching 90% of the targets thrown his way this season. Then it was rookie wide receiver Rome Odunze. Running back D’Andre Swift broke out against the Rams. Last week, it was DJ Moore. As Williams…
