In Week 10 of the 2022 NFL regular season, on November 13, the 3-6 Jacksonville Jaguars traveled to GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium to take on the 6-2 Kansas City Chiefs. After racing out to a 20-0 first half lead, the Chiefs put it in cruise control, extending their lead to 27-10 late in the third quarter, and ultimately winning, 27-17. The teams appeared very much headed in opposite directions.
Then a funny thing happened: while the Chiefs closed out their season on a 7-1 run to secure the No. 1 seed in the AFC playoffs, as they are wont to do, the Jaguars have also won seven of their last eight games en route to the AFC South division title, and the third-greatest playoff comeback in NFL history — last weekend’s 31-30 win over the Los Angeles Chargers, in which they trailed 27-0 late in the first half.
