The Jaguars pulled off a wild comeback win in the first round of the playoffs, and Joey Bosa played an unexpected role in the final outcome. Down by 10, Jacksonville scored a late touchdown, and on that play, Bosa lost his cool. Frustrated over what he thought was a missed call, he slammed his helmet to the turf and drew a costly unsportsmanlike conduct penalty. That moved the Jaguars’ two-point conversion attempt from the two-yard line to the one.
After the game, Doug Peterson said he might not have gone for two from the two-yard line, but at the one, it made sense. With the ball just a yard out, Trevor Lawrence extended over the line and got the conversion. That made it 30-28, setting Jacksonville up for a potential game-winning field goal instead of needing a touchdown. The defense then got a quick stop, and the Jags moved far enough downfield to set up the kick. The field goal was good, and Jacksonville advanced.
Bosa never came back in after the penalty. He sat on the sideline looking frustrated while the game slipped away. His meltdown helped change field position at a key moment, and Jacksonville didn’t waste the chance.
