The Jacksonville Jaguars pulled off a massive upset in their first playoff game in the NFL Wild Card Round. The Jaguars made the biggest playoff comeback in their franchise history and eliminated the Los Angeles Chargers. Trevor Lawrence and his squad had an almost storybook recovery as they made up a 27-point deficit. Some would say that this would seem too perfect an end.

After the game, Trevor Lawrence attended his post-game interview on the field. The Jaguars quarterback was obviously ecstatic after his win as the AFC South franchise has avoided elimination and is now headed into the more competitive parts of the playoffs. However, he made some statements that would have fans doubt the authenticity of America’s most loved game.

Fans did not hold back and said, “Breaking: Trevor Lawrence confirms the NFL is scripted.” However, there was one fan who believed that the elephant wasn’t rigged and said, “So let me get this straight….the chargers have been choking for damn near 2 decades and when they do it again tonight the NFL is scripted lol.” Admittedly, no one expected the Jaguars to make it this far.

The dark horse of the playoffs

It seems like no one expected the Jaguars to make it to the playoffs. However, Lawrence did not seem like he doubted his team for one second. It seems like the QB was only interested in focusing on where the team will be going from here on out.

Even though there are accusations of the NFL being scripted, the Jaguars have seemed to make history. It only remains to be seen how far they will go in their pursuit of the Super Bowl. The Jags will face the Kansas City Chiefs on January 21 in the AFC Divisional Round.
