The Jaguars dialed up a short pass in the right flat to Parker Washington, who immediately turned upfield and made two diving Denver defenders miss. It was at this moment, with Washington streaking down the sideline without a single orange jersey visible in the wide camera angle, that the game seemed to break wide open. Washington’s 58 yards after catch — good for Trevor Lawrence’s season-long completion of 63 yards — set up a Lawrence to Travis Etienne 10-yard touchdown strike on the next play.

With first and goal at the three, Patrick Mahomes was poised to put his team up 21-14. Devin Lloyd had other ideas. Lloyd perfectly read a pass intended for JuJu Smith-Schuster, picking off Mahomes at the goal line.
