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.
The Jaguars’ 27-point comeback is the 3rd-largest in NFL postseason history.
It is the biggest comeback win in @Jaguars history, and the biggest blown lead in @chargers history. #DUUUVAL

Jacksonville could set records in their franchise history after sealing their biggest comeback wins. On the contrary, the Chargers had a blowout moment after dropping a blowout lead in the franchise’s history.
While Shad and Tony Khan would be proud, it would be a desperate flight for the Bolts as they fly back to Los Angeles.
