- Trevor Lawrence falls, but then gets up to score game-winning TD vs Chiefs on MNF
Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence 's 1-yard touchdown run to take the lead late over the Kansas City Chiefs on "Monday Night Football" was far from your regular run.
Trailing by four with 30 seconds to go and no timeouts remaining, Lawrence took the snap under center. But an offensive lineman stepped on his foot, causing the quarterback to fall.

He fell again trying to get up. He then got up, eluded a pair of tacklers and then dove for the end zone for the go-ahead score.
That touchdown, plus the extra point, was the difference in game as the Jaguars beat the Chiefs, 31-28.
