The Jacksonville Jaguars' offense took tremendous strides in 2025.

With first-year head coach Liam Coen and rookie offensive coordinator Grant Udinski calling the shots, the offense finished the season 11th in yards per game and was sixth in scoring at 27.9 points per game.

Quarterback Trevor Lawrence had the best season of his career, and his stellar play down the stretch propelled him to his first-ever selection as an MVP finalist.

With a year of playing in Coen's offense already under his belt, Lawrence may be able to unlock an even higher level in 2026 and continue rising the ranks of NFL QBs.

In fact, the entire offense could really take off in Year 2 under Coen and Udinski. The team had to learn a new offense in 2025, which Lawrence admitted was "stressful mentally." Now that they have learned it, the players are focused on mastering the offense in 2026, and that newfound comfort could have a huge effect on the field.

Ted Nguyen of The Athletic believes the Jaguars' offense hasn't come close to reaching its peak and expects it to really break out in 2026.

Nguyen has several reasons to be optimistic that the Jaguars' offense will reach new heights this season.

First, he discusses the difficulty the team had learning Coen's system and points out the dramatic improvements the offense made as the season went along.

"Coach Liam Coen has quickly put himself in the top tier of NFL play callers. Coen propelled the Buccaneers' offense into one of the most explosive units in the league and then came to Jacksonville, where Trevor Lawrence had the best season of his career in Coen’s offense. There were some growing pains early in the season: the Jaguars couldn’t stop making procedural errors and dropping passes. It was clear they were having a tough time learning the offense, as Coen didn’t take it slow installing his system. His drinking-from-a-water-hose approach paid off later in the season when the unit grew more comfortable and started to click.

"The Jaguars averaged 20.86 points per game before the Week 8 bye. They scored 32.8 points after, ranking second in the league behind only the Rams in that span."

Nguyen also believes that the Jags' rushing attack can be much better this season. Bhayshul Tuten should be able to add some explosiveness to the ground game, and Nguyen is counting on the offensive line being better in 2026.

"The next step for the offense is to improve the running game. Even if we look at the running game split after their Week 8 bye, they ranked 30th in average rush yards before contact, 25th in rushing success rate and 28th in explosive rush rate. Many of their best runs were outside runs or option runs involving Lawrence. Increasing Bhayshul Tuten’s carries will help with explosiveness, but the offensive line must be better. A one-dimensional offense could swing the pendulum in the other direction for Lawrence, highlighting his tendency to put the ball in harm’s way."

Nguyen makes several excellent points in his piece, which is a great read.

The Jaguars exceeded all expectations in 2025, and if the offense can take another step forward, the team can truly be a Super Bowl contender.

The combination of the players being more comfortable with Coen's offense and Coen becoming more comfortable as a head coach could lead to the best season in the Jaguars' history.
