A game that looked like the Kansas City Chiefs would dominate early turned into a nightmare before their eyes.
Trevor Lawrence led a strong comeback against the three-time AFC champion to give the Jacksonville Jaguars a 31-28 victory.
It seemed like it was all Kansas City early, as the Chiefs took a 14-0 lead with touchdowns from Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes. However, Trevor Lawrence was able to find Parker Washington before the end of the first half, and Lawrence ran one in on Jacksonville’s first drive of the second to tie it up.

The Chiefs responded by marching all the way down the field, getting a huge third down catch by Hollywood Brown at the Jacksonville 3 yard line. However, on second down, Mahomes’ slant to Juju Smith-Schuster was intercepted by Devin Lloyd at the 1 and returned 99 yards to the house, giving the Jaguars a 21-14 lead with 2:19 to go in the third quarter.
After forcing a Chiefs punt, the Jags had all the momentum – until Lawrence threw an interception inside his own 20-yard line. After a 14-yard catch from Kelce, Kareem Hunt hit one for five yards and tied the game at 21 with 12:20 to play, but Jacksonville re-covered the lead with a field goal a few minutes later. The Chiefs, however, went on a 12-play, 87-yard drive that ended in Hunt’s second rushing touchdown of the night to take a 28-24 lead with 1:45 left.
Lawrence and the Jags had one last chance with two timeouts, and he entered the red zone with 48 seconds left. A pass in the end zone was intercepted, but the Chiefs were called for defensive pass interference, giving Jacksonville the ball at the 1-yard line. On the next play, Lawrence, albeit with a trip to the grass, rushed for a score and gave the Jaguars a 31-28 lead with 23 seconds left.

The Chiefs had three timeouts, but with the ball inside their 20, even they couldn’t do anything, and a hail Mary fell short to give the Jags the victory.
It was Jacksonville’s first victory over Kansas City since 2009.
Lawrence only threw for 221 yards on 18-for-25, but his two rushing touchdowns helped. He was also the team’s leading rusher with 10 carries for 54 yards. Mahomes went 29 for 41 for 318 yards.
Lawrence, who was also celebrating his 26th birthday, admitted there was “pure panic” during his fall because the Jags had no downtime.
“I came out on the way out and I was like, ‘I have to get up. “And I was going to throw it out of bounds to stop the clock and there was really no one around me.

They’re not panicking in their 4-1 record, however. Meanwhile, Kansas City fell to 2-3.
The Jaguars host the Seattle Seahawks next week, while the Chiefs host the Detroit Lions.
