NFL World Reacts To Jaguars' Incredible Comeback Win Over Chargers

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. 

Here's what the NFL world is saying about Saturday's unbelievable Jaguars comeback. 

Tonight's comeback, according to the NBC broadcast crew, is the third-largest come-from-behind playoff victory of all time.
