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.
