It looked bleak for the Jaguars as they trailed the Los Angeles Chargers 27-0 in the AFC playoffs, but resilient QB Trevor Lawrence came through again.
How could this possibly happen? Who saw such a wild finish and historic rally coming?
It’s not like Lawrence is Tom Brady, who had four Super Bowl rings in his collection and 16 years of NFL experience to draw on when he orchestrated that comeback from a 28-3 deficit against the Atlanta Falcons in Super Bowl LI. “From playing football, watching football, I know a lot of quarterbacks that would fold in that situation that he went through,” said Jones. “That’s tough, for anybody at any level. For him to be as poised and composed as he was, it showed another side of who we have on this team.”
“I threw four picks in the first half, and those guys beside me on offense and the guys on the other side of the ball didn’t ever lose faith in me, and that’s one thing that makes it easier, when you know you’ve got guys that believe in you, no matter what the circumstances are.” But a stout defensive front led by Roy Robertson-Harris, Josh Allen and Foye Oluokun, which had to deal with terrible field position because of the turnovers, scored an important victory. It held the Chargers to a field goal, preventing the lead from ballooning to 31 points.
The Jaguars found themselves facing a fourth-and-less-than-1 at the L.A. 41. It was a textbook quarterback sneak situation, which is exactly what the Jaguars appeared ready to do. “Just a great effort by Travis to obviously hit an off tackle there and get the first down and more,” said Pederson. “I played with one of the greatest quarterbacks ever in [the Packers’] Brett Favre and there were times he didn’t have a great first half and came back in the second half and could light it up,” said Pederson.
