Coming back after four interceptions in the first half
Trevor Lawrence is one of the best high school and college quarterbacks ever, losing four times before the NFL. His largest non-NFL loss was his first loss in high school when Buford HS beat Cartersville in 2014 by 24 points. In Trevor Lawrence's first playoff game, the Jacksonville Jaguars were already down 27-0 before half-time, with Lawrence throwing four interceptions by then. He started the game by only completing four out of his first 16 passes.
Lawrence never gave up in that game, throwing a touchdown right before half-time to trim the game to 27-7. He threw two more touchdowns in the third quarter to narrow the lead down to 10 points. Trevor threw another touchdown in the fourth to get within 2 points. With 3:09 left in the game, the Jaguars got the ball for a chance to win. They cashed in the opportunity and kicked a field goal as time expired to win the game 31-30 against the Los Angeles Chargers.
Quotes
That was the one thing, just self-talk in my head going back and forth. It's tough when you're struggling and not playing well, but if I don't continue to be myself, we don't have a shot to win because then I'm going to miss the plays that I usually make. I just had to keep my confidence. Missed a few throws, I think where some of those turnovers where I was being a little cautious. After that I felt like I kind of got back on track and settled in.

You couldn't write a better script to win a game like that tonight, so it makes it more special, but don't want to do that again
