The Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback threw three interceptions in the first quarter, including two in Jacksonville’s first two series. He became the first quarterback with an interception on each of his first two career playoff drives since at least 1991, per NFL Investigation.
Lawrence then threw for three touchdowns in the second half and led the Jaguars to a game-winning field goal on the final drive.
Lawrence threw his third interception late in the first quarter. The Chargers offense scored three runs later to take a 17–0 lead.
In the second quarter, Lawrence was knocked out for the fourth time and Los Angeles led 27–7 at the half.
