The Jacksonville Jaguars erased a 27-0 first half deficit tonight to defeat the Los Angeles Chargers 31-30 in the first round of the AFC Playoffs.
Down 27-7 at halftime and 30-20 to begin the fourth quarter, Jacksonville scored 11 points over the final 15 minutes to cap one of the best comebacks in postseason history.
Trevor Lawrence, after throwing four first-half interceptions, officially earns a victory in his playoff debut.
The Jaguars outscored the Chargers 24-3 over the final two quarters tonight.
Jacksonville stymied a once-humming Chargers' offense in the second half and rode the arm of Lawrence, who tossed three touchdowns in the final 30 minute of action tonight.
After a failed Chargers' put-away possession with five minutes left in the fourth quarter, Lawrence and the Jaguars had just over 180 seconds to orchestrate a game-winning drive of their own.
A 25-yard scamper from tailback Travis Etienne put Jacksonville in field goal range, and the rest is history.
