Lloyds experience getting into football wasn't like most other players. He never played a snap of football before getting into college. In his first game of organized football in his life, he had a pretty simple and boring day to help him get acclimated to the position and his new team. Only threw for 142 yards with 2 passing touchdowns and had about 50 yards rushing in his first game. The team overall kept the gameplan pretty simple for Lloyd in his debut keeping the playcalling pretty simple with a heavy running game and most of the passes he threw were slants and curl routes intended to make the decision making for Lloyd as simple as possible. Lloyd was very nervous at the start of the game and had a tendency to drop his eyes to the rush and just make a break. In the second half Lloyd got comfortable and had 120 of his 142 passing yards including hitting his receiver with perfect timing on a slant where he took it for an extra 24 yards after the catch for Lloyds first career touchdown with 10 minutes left in the fourth. Lloyd also came in clutch in the final 30 seconds of the game hitting his primary receiver on a curl route where he juked his man and scored the go ahead touchdown from 12 yards out to cap the comeback for a 24-21 victory in Lloyds first Career game!
