The Jacksonville Jaguars dug themselves a 27-0 hole before they got on the scoreboard in an AFC Wild-Card game against the Los Angeles Chargers on Saturday night.
Jacksonville broke through in the final minute of the first half as Engram caught a 9-yard pass from Trevor Lawrence, who had already thrown 4 interceptions.

Doug Pederson wanted the Jaguars to make a statement on the first two drives of the second half and they did.
They stopped the Chargers and then went on a long drive that ate up almost half the quarter.
Lawrence had found his groove and ended the march of 89 yards with a 6-yard pass to Marvin Jones Jr. in the end zone.
Don't count the @Jaguars out yet.
An 89-yard drive has Jacksonville within two scores.
