It's not like Trevor was inaccurate or overthrowing at the beginning, but the Chargers secondary was jumping routes. Then that stopped working for them.
In the second half, the Jags were calling the same plays! They were still throwing to Samuel's side! Obviously the "execution" was better but I have to think something more specific changed...

What changed? Nothing really. Just talent doing what talent does. Succeeding and excelling against all odds and obstacles.

It's not how start. It's how you finish. Did you tilt? Or did you fall? Did you buckle? Or did you crawl? Our team did both last night.

Only difference? Talent showed up. At two of the biggest jobs in sports. Quarterback and Headcoach. It's that simple. Lawrence played better than Herbert. Pederson coached better than Staley.

Two big plays last night were made due to talent and trust. Lawrence audibled to that big TD pass to Zay Jones. He read that. Caught them napping and cooked them. After dishing out four turnovers he saw those Chargers over there playing red rover, red rover and Lawrence said "a'ight bet" and sent that [BLEEP] right back on over. The top.

Pederson, finally. Calling that crucial timeout in a big moment to make the right decision instead of just letting things fly. That playcall is the playcall you go back and highlight and give a name to when you advance another game in the post season and add another feather to your cap.

We got Captains. That's what we got.
