Los Angeles Chargers fans, on Saturday night, in their first playoff appearance since 2018, had to watch their team blow a 27-point lead to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Everything seemed to be going well for the Los Angeles team in the first half, as they pushed Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence into four interceptions and led 27-0 with 4:28 left in the second quarter. The Jaguars scored late to make it 27-7 at halftime, but many in the sports world had already pinned the Chargers for the Divisional Round.
The 27-point comeback is the third-largest playoff comeback in NFL history. It was also the first time in NFL playoff history that a team was plus-five in the turnover margin and lost the game.
Largest postseason comebacks in NFL history:
đ1992 Bills, 32-point comeback vs Oilers.
đ2013 Colts, 28-point comeback vs Chiefs.
đ2023 Jaguars, 27-point comeback vs. Chargers.
