Trevor Lawrence erased the worst half of football in his life with one of the best, leading the Jaguars to a somehow-they-did-it and you-still-can’t-believe-it-happened, 31-30 comeback win.
Trevor Lawrence of the Jacksonville Jaguars celebrates on the field after beating the Los Angeles Chargers in an NFL wild card playoff football game at TIAA Bank Field on January 14, 2023 in Jacksonville, Florida. – The Jaguars started on the wrong side of history and came out of it on the other.It was always — and continues to be — the Jaguars.
Lawrence tossed four interceptions in the first half and countered that with four touchdowns and a clutch two-point conversion vault after that with 5 minutes, 30 seconds to play to get Jacksonville in position for a comeback that didn’t seem realistic. The defense forced a punt and Lawrence engineered a classic drive from his own 21 to set Patterson up for the dagger to win it.
From a 27-0 deficit in the second quarter, Lawrence threw second-half touchdown passes to Zay Jones, Christian Kirk and to Marvin Jones, then added a two-point conversion leap over the pile to make it 30-28 with 5:30 to go. Lawrence, sensing that the impossible was within reach, spiked the ball down as hard as he’s ever done after a scoring play and the crowd went ballistic.
Instead of going up the middle and through the cluster, something the Chargers were planning for looking at their stuffed formation, Etienne broke around the right side and had an open field to work with. He was tackled after a gain of 20 and that set Patterson up for a makeable shot which he nailed.Lawrence’s three first-quarter interceptions marked the first time in NFL playoff history that a quarterback was picked off three times in the first quarter, according to the Boston Globe.
Lawrence turned in the worst game he’s had at any level of football, throwing an interception on the second play of the game, another on Jacksonville’s next drive and another late in the opening quarter. Those led to 17 quick points for the Chargers and a lead that was nearly too steep to overcome.
