How Trevor Lawrence overcame a traditionally unhealthy begin to lead Jaguars to one among largest playoff comebacks ever

Trevor Lawrence had the worst begin to a playoff sport since Craig Morton in Super Bowl XII, changing into the first quarterback since Morton to throw 4 interceptions within the first half. The distinction between Lawrence and Morton? Lawrence was in a position to lead his crew to one of many biggest comebacks in NFL postseason historical past. 

Lawrence completed 28 of 47 for 288 yards with 4 touchdowns and 4 interceptions (70.2 ranking) because the Jacksonville Jaguars erased a 27-point deficit in an exciting 31-30 comeback over the Los Angeles Chargers, a sport by which the Jaguars quarterback was on tempo to have the worst postseason sport in NFL historical past.

Lawrence threw three interceptions within the first quarter of his playoff debut and have become the primary participant with three-plus interceptions in 1 / 4 of a playoff sport since Carson Palmer had three within the fourth quarter of the 2015 NFC Championship Game towards the Carolina Panthers. He threw an interception on his first playoff try, the primary participant to try this since Aaron Rodgers in 2009. 

The first-half efficiency was so poor that Asante Samuel Jr. — who had three interceptions within the first half — had extra completions off Lawrence than every other Jaguars participant. Lawrence had a 0.6 passer ranking on the finish of the primary quarter, throughout which he went 4 of 13 for 30 yards and three interceptions. 

Lawrence wasn’t any higher till the two-minute warning earlier than halftime. He was 5 of 18 for 35 yards with no touchdowns and 4 interceptions because the Jaguars trailed, 27-0. Lawrence’s passer ranking was 0.0.

Then the sport modified. Here had been Lawerence’s numbers earlier than the two-minute warning within the first half and the remainder of the sport.
