The Jaguars (9-8) are set to take on the Chargers (10-7) on Saturday, Jan. 14 at 8:15 p.m. at TIAA Bank Field in the first round of the NFL playoffs.
Jacksonville finished in first place in the AFC South division after defeating the Tennessee Titans 20-16 last Saturday night, while the Chargers finished in second place in the AFC West, finishing behind the 14-3 Kansas City Chiefs.
"Obviously, that’s a huge stepping stone for us, but now, since we came back, it’s really just been next week, or this week, moving onto the next week, focusing on the task at hand and realizing it’s the same thought process this week to earn another opportunity next week. You just find a way to win, whatever it takes," said Lawrence.
That includes newcomers such as rookie linebacker Devin Lloyd, who spoke about the opportunity in the locker room on Thursday. In the past five games, the Jaguars have posted 11 turnovers, one of the highest marks in the league during that span.The team's defense has surrendered just one touchdown over the last three games, hitting its stride during the most important span of football.
