Burrow vs. Lawrence: A History
Joe Burrow and Trevor Lawrence have squared off multiple times since entering the NFL, but their most unforgettable clash occurred in college. The two star quarterbacks met in the 2020 College Football Playoff National Championship, where Burrow led LSU to a 42-25 triumph over Lawrence and Clemson at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans.
Burrow was subsequently drafted as the No. 1 overall pick by the Bengals in 2020, while Lawrence was selected No. 1 overall by the Jaguars in 2021. Since joining the NFL, Lawrence has faced the Bengals three times and has yet to secure a win. Cincinnati remains the only AFC North team he has not beaten.
Ahead of the upcoming game, Lawrence acknowledged during a Sept. 30 press conference that this streak is on his mind. "We gotta make it turn. We gotta go win it," Lawrence said. "It's definitely something that, when you're going into the game, you think about. You're not sitting there thinking about it every second of the day and all week, but I've thought about it. It's a team that we haven't beat. We lost a tough one there early in the season last year and that's one that we definitely we want back."
The Bengals will look to extend their dominance over the Jaguars and hand Lawrence another defeat in this AFC showdown.
