Good

4-16?  Good.

30 passing yards 20 minutes into the game?  Good.

4 interceptions?  Good.

Down 27-0?  Good.

The score is 27-7.  The Jaguars get the ball at their own 11 yard line.  Jacksonville's first drive of the second half after the defense forces a punt.  If Jacksonville pulls off an unthinkable 27 point comeback, they need to score a touchdown right now.  Trevor Lawrence needs to set the tone after a historically awful first half.  How does the second year quarterback, an individual built as though he was sculpted by Ancient Greeks themselves, respond?  "Good."

The big J's are sending out tweets left and right.  Columnists around the country have begun drafting articles on the disaster unfolding before our eyes during the halftime.  Surely preparing to label the former #1 pick as a bust.  But in the Jaguar's locker room, there is just one word to say, "good."  

Trevor Lawrence comes out of the tunnel hitting his first six attempts.  Like a mint condition six shooter that just needed to be dusted off, is firing seamlessly.  Nine plays and 68-yards later, the Jaguars are on the prowl in the red zone, preparing to strike.  3rd & 7-yards to go.  Lawrence gets sacked for a big loss but there's a flag on the play.  Bosa is flagged for offside, in what would not be his last critical penalty of the game.  The Jaguars get a second chance and convert the 3rd down conversion.  After getting the ball down to the goalline, Trevor Lawrence doesn't get the snap off in time, and a delay of game is called.  "Good."

A brutal blow on third down.  Knocked down again, Trevor gets back up, unphased.  What was initially 3rd & goal from the 1-yard line, has become 3rd & goal from the Charger's 6-yard line.  Paradoxically, maybe a blessing in disguise.  Possibly allowing Lawrence to be more comfortable with more space to work with and playing out of the shotgun.  The golden haired Jaguar delivers a critical strike.  Capping off a 14-play, 89-yard drive that elapsed 7 minutes and 17 seconds of gametime with his 2nd touchdown pass of the game.  What a drive and what a response by the second year quarterback in his first playoff game.  

This is Trevor Lawrence.  Good.  This is what I was celebrating after Clemson signed the #1 player in the country.  This is who I witnessed every Saturday at Clemson.  This is the 19-year old true Freshman quarterback that carved up Nick Saban's and college football's "best team ever" according to 247sports, ESPN, and sbnation.  Blowing out Alabama football 44-16 in the CFP National Championship game.

Following up a near-perfect half of football, completing a monumental comeback in his first NFL playoff appearance, his press conference following the game was just as impressive:

Right off the bat, we get an insight into Lawrence's mentality as a quarterback, competitor, and leader of men.  Instead of wallowing on the 4 interceptions, in what he described as the worst half of football he has ever played, he argues "only one of those plays was a bad decision."  This isn't to make himself look better or pass the blame.  It's easy to say that he played awful and pointing to that stat of four interceptions.  It's even easier to lose confidence in yourself when every ball you throw seems to be incomplete or caught by the opposing team.  But he didn't, he remained calm and collected.  He responded to the turmoil with, "good."  

It's easy for the team around hm to say that this cat doesn't have it.  It's easy for wide receivers to throw a temper tantrum on the sidelines after such an abysmal start.  It's easy for the defense to give up after being put in impossible situations over and over again because of Trevor's throws.  But they didn't.  They said "good."

A second year player, coming off his rookie year as the worst starting quarterback in nearly every statistical category.  In his first playoff game, throwing 4 interceptions in the first half and the team never lost faith in the golden haired pretty boy.  This isn't Tom Brady who has won 7 Super Bowls.  There is no guarantee that this kitten will turn into the big cat of the NFL.  But the team follows him because Trevor follows the team.

Celebrating the defence's ability to get a stop going into halftime, and continuing to lock down the Chargers offense in the second half.  Giving credit to Travis Etienne and the kicker, Riley Patterson, for sealing the win.  Praising the big uglies for "setting the edge" on the critical 4th & 1.  Giving credit to the head ball coach, Doug Pederson, for calling the timeout to change up the play.  Trevor admitting to being upset about the decision to reevaluate.  Being able to realize when he is wrong and recognize when others are right.  A necessary quality for being a leader.  Never once relishing in the spotlight after the near perfect display of quarterbacking that he accomplished in the second half.

This press conference was the highlight of the weekend for Doug Pederson.  The person tasked with impossible responsibility of picking up the pieces left by the trainwreck tenure of Urban Meyer.  Trying to make men, from all different backgrounds making millions of dollars by playing a game, buy into a collective message.  A unifying identity.  No matter what happens, how bad things get, respond with "good."  This Jaguars team has taken on that mantra of "good" and truly believes it.  From starting off the year with a 4-8 record to winning the AFC South.  Down 27-0?  "Good."  When a team buys into a collective message, special moments like Saturday night are able to transpire.

Jaguars win 31-30.  Completing the 27-point miraculous comeback.  Great.
