NFL London a chance to 'catapult quarterback into greatness' says Jason BellGetty
The Jacksonville Jaguars take on the Buffalo Bills in the second London game of 2023.

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence has the chance to "catapult into greatness" when they take on the Buffalo Bills at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday.

That is according to former Dallas Cowboys, Houston Texans and New York Giants cornerback Jason Bell, who believes this game in week five is Lawrence's opportunity to take the next step to becoming an elite quarterback.

The Jaguars have not been as profilic on offense as many had predicted to start 2023, however they did beat the Atlanta Falcons at Wembley Stadium in week four.

Jacksonville stay in the United Kingdom, where they have played more times than any other franchise, for their meeting with the Bills.

"For Trevor Lawrence to take that next step to elite quarterback play, this has got to be the game," Bell told DAZN.

"Josh Allen is up right now, he's the favourite to win MVP, and deservedly so by last week's performance, but Trevor Lawrence was the first pick in his draft and he has all the tools and all the skills.

"These are the kinds of games that catapult you into greatness. How do you play against the other greats?

"That's what I'm really focused on, on how these two duel, back and forth, because if you come out of this, you put yourself in the upper echelon of quarterback play."

It will not be easy for Lawrence, as Allen and the Bills go into London having won three straight games - scoring 37 or more points in each victory.

Their 139 points scored on offense through four weeks is good for second best in the NFL, only behind AFC East rivals the Miami Dolphins.

And to make things more challenging for Lawrence, the Bills defence have allowed just 55 points all season, a figure only bettered by the Dallas Cowboys.
