3.Consensus is in. Boerkircher continues to ascend as the midway point of his rookie season approaches. Boerkircher, a second-round selection in the 2026 NFL Draft, scored his first career touchdown on a pass from quarterback Trevor Lawrence<\/a> in the Jaguars’ last game \u2013 a Week 6 loss to the Houston Texans. That was a one-handed, contested receptionm and Boerkircher on Sunday turned in an equally impressive reception to give the Jaguars a 14-0 lead early in the second quarter. “I thought Boerk’s body control and adjustment was pretty impressive as well to make the finish,” Coen said of the play. Lawrence on first-and-10 avoided pressure with the help of a block from tight end Brenton Strange, then found Boerkircher \u2013 who made a smooth adjustment for the ball \u2013 open near the goal line for a 31-yard touchdown with 7:14 remaining in the first half. “Some of those wide-open catches feel harder to catch,” Boerkircher said. “Being able to adjust to it kind of made it feel a little easier. It’s a weird thing, but it was cool.” Added Boerkircher of his second touchdown in as many games, “The game is slowing down, too. That’s part of it and then I think just building their trust has been really cool.” Added Coen of Lawrence’s effort on the play, “When Trevor is doing those kind of things, you feel like he’s in a rhythm, he’s in a flow, he’s seeing it and able to just react and go play, so that was really nice to see.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"3.Consensus is in.
