In the wake of a controversial moment during the Jaguars' recent loss to the Bengals, head coach Liam Coen is clearing the air about his relationship with quarterback Trevor Lawrence.

A viral video captured Coen passionately gesturing after Lawrence overthrew wide receiver Dyami Brown in a crucial moment during the fourth quarter. As the tension mounted, Lawrence was seen waving off his coach, a moment that sparked speculation among fans and commentators alike.

However, Coen took to the media on Monday to reassure everyone that all is well between him and Lawrence, emphasizing that their bond remains strong. "In this crazy world, everything gets blown out of proportion," Coen remarked. "It’s an emotional and competitive game—we’re all feeling it. I believe I can keep my emotions in check better, and Trevor was simply signaling me to move on, not dismissing my input in any harsh way."

As it stands, Lawrence’s performance has seen him complete 58.9% of his passes, with four touchdowns and three interceptions under Coen's guidance in the first two games. If this trajectory continues as they head into Week 3 against the Texans, the scrutiny could ramp up even more, leaving Coen and Lawrence to navigate what he dubbed as 'rat poison’ along the way.
