Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence delivered his first grandiose signature NFL moment by rallying his team from a 27-0 deficit against the Chargers, writes GeneFrenette
How could this possibly happen? Who saw such a wild finish and historic rally coming?
Yet somehow, when those dark hours come and the Jaguars face a climb as steep as Everest, they have an uncanny knack for flipping a switch. All at this same venue, Lawrence has led them back from 17 points down against the Las Vegas Raiders and Dallas Cowboys, a 9-point deficit in the fourth quarter against the Baltimore Ravens, then beat the Tennessee Titans last week to win the AFC South after trailing 10-0.
“Once he finds his rhythm, I wouldn’t have nobody else,” said receiver Marvin Jones. “I’ve never seen a quarterback come back from throwing four picks. But he’s different. The dude never wavers. He doesn’t care what happens, it’s all about the next play.” But since the Jaguars made a habit of overcoming big deficits in the second half of the season, there was no sense of doom permeating the sidelines. And certainly not on the quarterback who started out 4 of 16 with four interceptions.
When the loose ball caromed all the way back to the Jaguars’ 6 and Amen Ogbongbemiga recovered for a fifth turnover, you just felt it wasn’t going to be the home team’s night. The Jaguars went touchdown, touchdown, touchdown, touchdown and game-winning field goal on their last five possessions. So he called timeout as the Jaguars, in Pederson’s words, “reloaded, regrouped, put our heads together, came up with that call.”
“It takes a lot of guts there, fourth-and-1 and game on the line, and just the guys up front, they just mashed them,” said Lawrence. “They set the edge and Travis was rolling.”
