Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence stumbled twice to the turf and still managed to score the game-winning touchdown with 23 seconds left on Monday ― and he owed it all to “panic.” (Watch the video below.)
“Just panic, sheer panic,” Lawrence said. “We didn’t have any timeouts. Got stepped on coming out and I was like I gotta get up. I was just going to throw it out of bounds to stop the clock and then there was really no one around me. So went and made a play.”
Watch the Clemson alum fall repeatedly, break a tackle and break the Kansas City Chiefs’ hearts with a dive into the end zone.
That gave the Jaguars a 31-28 victory for their third straight win and had Clemson Sports calling it the “greatest game-winning touchdown run you’ll ever see.” Many fans had similar superlatives, including “funniest,” “one of the best” and “most thrilling” 1-yard run.
