“What a Useless Stat”: NFL World Wrecks ‘Mr. Saturday’ Trevor Lawrence as He Makes Playoff Debut for Jacksonville Jaguars

The world of sports is always flooded by stats. Every day, fans see a new stat being thrown at them. With Trevor Lawrence and the Jaguars hosting the LA Chargers for their wild-card matchup, there’s bound to be some wild numbers being thrown around. But fans erupted on Twitter after seeing this WILD Trevor Lawrence stat.

Trevor Lawrence has been popularly nicknamed ‘Mr Saturday’ for his undefeated status on Saturdays in college football. Lawrence has had a remarkable season, leading the Jaguars to the top of the AFC South. Spearheading the Jags’ offense, he threw for more than 4,000 yards at nearly a 67% completion rate on the season. Lawrence was among the better QBs across the league this year, and his numbers on the stat board and in the wins column reflect the same.

Fans destroy Trevor Lawrence for ‘phoney’ stat

Fans were surprised to see Lawrence’s undefeated status on Saturday nights. But many fans called out the stat for being ‘phoney’ and worthless for its misleading nature. For context, over his 2 seasons in the NFL, Lawrence has only played in 1 Saturday Night football game. A strikingly low number of games to base a statistic upon. As these fans pointed out:
