Mics picked up Trevor Lawrence unsuccessfully arguing his case to a ref against a delay of game penalty

In a challenging game for his Jacksonville Jaguars, Trevor Lawrence knew that he’d have to find an edge anywhere possible. This was especially the case with the San Francisco 49ers boasting both Nick Bosa and Chase Young off the defensive edge.

With Jacksonville already facing a 10-0 deficit in the second quarter, Lawrence was called for an unfortunate delay-of-game penalty on a second and long. Naturally, the quarterback took great exception to this and tried pleading his case to the announcing referee. Before the official revealed the call, it seemed his microphone captured Lawrence’s less-than-pleased reaction to the penalty.

Absolute gold in every way:

Lawrence can at least take solace that he tried his best. There was no chance the referee would reverse the delay of game call, but that doesn’t mean you should just give up.
