Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence had no idea he had thrown his 100th career touchdown pass until informed during the first half of a 34-10 rout of the Cleveland Browns on Sunday. When told the milestone occurred, Lawrence asked who had the football, hoping to keep it — especially since he still has the ball from his first touchdown pass as a rookie in 2021.

But Lawrence learned rookie receiver Josh Cameron had possession of the historic ball after his 4-yard catch with 1:42 remaining in the first quarter, which gave the Jaguars a 14-0 lead. "He can keep it," Lawrence said. "I guess I've got to get 200 [touchdown passes] now. I'll keep that one."

Cameron's catch came between cornerback Denzel Ward and safety Grant Delpit. "It's definitely a play that we kind of practiced all week," Cameron said. "Usually in practice, [our defense] was cheating the other way, but I'm like, 'OK, let me lock in.' And so, I just did my job, and then I turned and as soon as the ball kind of came at me, it was there."

Lawrence threw two more touchdown passes and now has 102 in his career, one behind Blake Bortles for second place on the franchise's all-time passing TD list. Mark Brunell leads with 146. Lawrence is also the fourth player in NFL history with 100-plus passing touchdowns and 20-plus rushing touchdowns before age 27, joining Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson, and Cam Newton.
