Trevor Lawrence’s Last-Second Dive Lifts Jaguars Over Chiefs on Monday Night

Coach Liam Coen cast the primetime win as proof of internal standards.

Overview

  • Lawrence led a late march featuring a 33-yard third-and-7 strike to Brian Thomas Jr., a 13-yard completion to Dyami Brown and a drawn pass interference that set up the goal line.
  • On the deciding play, after being stepped on by Patrick Mekari and falling, he got up, bounced left and dove in for the go-ahead score with 23 seconds remaining.
  • Coen said his first thought was “Throw it away” before lauding the “unbelievable individual effort” and stressing that league respect is “ours to take.”
  • Lawrence posted 221 passing yards with one touchdown and one interception, added 54 rushing yards and two rushing scores, and logged his second game-winning drive of the season.
  • The result delivered Jacksonville’s first Monday Night Football victory since 2011 and its first 4-1 start since 2007, underscoring a growing confidence in closing games.
