The monumental comeback sealed the Jags’ divisional-round stance and trashed the LA Chargers’ playoff hopes. The NFL Universe was also in disbelief at what they saw on their screens.
The Los Angeles Chargers arrived at TIAA Bank Field hoping to conquer the Jaguars. However, the franchise had a radical twist of fate after the first two quarters. The Bolts picked the lead, but it took no time for Trevor Lawrence and the Jags to pick a comeback and sweep the entire thing.

Skip Bayless heaped praise over the Jags.
What a comeback by Trevor Lawrence and the Jacksonville Jaguars from 27-0 down to win it 31-30, overcoming 4 EARLY INTERCEPTIONS. The Jags are better than the Chargers. It just took 60 full minutes to finally prove it.

Despite the Chargers having a better position, it took just two quarters for Trevor Lawrence and the Jags to fire back. But in the process, Jacksonville and Los Angeles also scripted history.
Bolts and Jags scripted history!
Los Angeles may have charged things up with their lead. But it took no time for the Jags to bounce back, just as New England did against Atlanta in Super Bowl LI. After sealing their divisional-round playoff berth, the Jaguars wrote history after picking up a 27-point comeback. It becomes the third-largest in the league’s postseason history.
