Jaguars Dominate Chargers with Lawrence’s Praise for Morris
The Jacksonville Jaguars secured a commanding victory against the Los Angeles Chargers on November 12, 2025, winning 35-6. This win was particularly significant given the team’s recent struggles with offensive consistency, especially in the absence of key players. Tight end Brenton Strange, who had been performing well earlier in the season, remains sidelined due to a quad injury sustained in Week 5. His loss, combined with the recent injury to backup tight end Hunter Long, put immense pressure on the Jaguars’ offense.
Despite these challenges, the Jaguars showcased a dominant rushing attack during Week 11. Running backs Travis Etienne Jr. and Bhayshul Tuten combined for 147 yards and three touchdowns on 29 carries, demonstrating their ability to exploit the gaps in the Chargers’ defense. The performance of the offensive line was crucial, as they provided the necessary push for the running game to thrive.
Quintin Morris Steps Up
In the absence of Strange and Long, tight end Quintin Morris emerged as a vital asset for the Jaguars. His contributions were acknowledged by quarterback Trevor Lawrence, who praised Morris for his versatility and work ethic. “He’s been awesome. Super hard worker, really can do anything he’s asked of; he can block, he can run all the routes, he’s got great hands,” Lawrence noted. This adaptability has been essential for the team, which has been forced to adjust its game plan due to the injuries.
Lawrence emphasized the importance of Morris’s ability to learn various roles within the offense. “We only had him and Johnny Mundt last week that were up, and those guys had to learn pretty much everything the tight end can do,” he explained. The adjustments required from Morris and Mundt showcase their commitment to the team, as they navigated the complexities of different formations.
Morris’s performance during the game against the Chargers included impressive blocks and a notable reception, further solidifying his role in the offense. Lawrence expressed confidence in his teammate, stating, “Seeing some of the blocks he had on Sunday, I’m sure you guys saw some of them, and he played really well.” He added that Morris could have had an even bigger impact if a potential touchdown pass had been completed.
As the Jaguars prepare to face the Arizona Cardinals in Week 12, the team will look to build on their recent success. The performance against the Chargers not only highlighted the potential of the rushing attack but also showcased the resilience of the team in overcoming adversity. Morris, along with the rest of the squad, will be key in maintaining this momentum as they continue their pursuit of a successful season.
