Trevor Lawrence’s Wild Touchdown Seals Jaguars’ 31-28 Victory Over Chiefs
In one of the most dramatic finishes of the 2025 NFL season, Trevor Lawrence and the Jacksonville Jaguars shocked fans and analysts alike with a “goofy” yet game-winning touchdown that sent the Kansas City Chiefs to their third straight painful loss.
With just 30 seconds left on the clock, the 26-year-old quarterback slipped — not once, but twice — before recovering and bulldozing his way into the end zone for a one-yard touchdown, sealing a 31-28 victory on Monday Night Football at EverBank Stadium.
From Panic to Glory
After the game, Lawrence laughed about the chaotic final play.
“I just panicked, honestly,” he admitted. “We didn’t have any timeouts left, and I was just trying to stand up and throw it away — but somehow, I made it in.”
What looked like a mistake turned into a moment of magic — a run that defined the game and perhaps the Jaguars’ season.
Lawrence Shines, Mahomes Falls Short
Lawrence delivered one of his most complete performances as a pro, going 18-of-25 for 221 yards, adding two rushing touchdowns, and leading a late 60-yard drive capped by his “wobbly” end-zone charge.
Meanwhile, Chiefs superstar Patrick Mahomes put up massive numbers — 318 passing yards, one touchdown, and 60 rushing yards — but once again, it wasn’t enough. A last-second Hail Mary attempt fell short, marking the Chiefs’ third one-score loss of the season.
A Painful Pattern for the Chiefs
Kansas City’s slide continues after heartbreaking defeats to the Chargers and Eagles earlier this year. All three losses have come by a single score — a stunning reversal for a team that dominated clutch situations in 2024, winning 11 close games en route to a near three-peat.
Mahomes summed up the frustration clearly:
“We’ve got the guys to win, but penalties and small mistakes keep killing us. One missed play can change everything in this league.”

The Jaguars’ Turning Point?
Under new head coach Liam Coen, Jacksonville has surged to a 4-1 record, their best start since 2007. Coen praised his quarterback’s fight:
“It’s a goofy finish, but it shows his will to win. He wasn’t going to lose that game.”
Lawrence, the 2021 No. 1 overall pick, is finally showing elite form. With 54 rushing yards on 10 carries, he’s learning to use his legs to extend plays — a skill that could make the Jaguars a real playoff contender.
What’s Next
In Week 6, the Jaguars host the Seattle Seahawks (3-2), while the Chiefs will try to bounce back at home against the Detroit Lions (4-1).
If Monday’s chaotic ending proved anything, it’s that Trevor Lawrence isn’t just a passer anymore — he’s a playmaker who can change a game with heart, hustle, and a bit of chaos.
