This will be the first time the Titans face the Jaguars in 2022, and by this point in the schedule, Jacksonville already will have played Indianapolis twice and Houston once. Quarterback Trevor Lawrence, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2021 draft, figures to continue to get better with each start, particularly now that he has an actual NFL coach, Doug Pederson, overseeing his development.
Tennessee has won five straight in the series and seven of eight overall since Vrabel became head coach. Presumably, Lawrence will eventually become a problem the way Peyton Manning once was in Indianapolis and Deshaun Watson was for several years in Houston. The 2022 schedule ends with the Titans in Jacksonville, and if the last few seasons are any indication, there will be something – the division title, playoff seeding or even a playoff spot – will be at stake. It will be best for Tennessee if Lawrence enters that game wondering what he must do to get a win rather than having proved to himself a few weeks earlier that he could do it.
