Not even three-time Super Bowl champion Patrick Mahomes was immune to the colossal comebacks that defined Week 5 in the NFL.
Trevor Lawrence rallied Jacksonville from a 14-0 deficit and scored the winning touchdown after getting stepped on by his right guard, falling back down, getting back up, slipping a tackle and diving into the end zone to give the Jaguars a wild 31-28 win over the mistake-prone Kansas City Chiefs on Monday night.
“It (stinks) when you get a lead like that and you’re not able to hold it throughout the rest of the game,” Mahomes said after the Chiefs, who went 11-0 in one-score games last season, fell to 0-3 in such games this season.
The Eagles, Cardinals, Dolphins, Giants and Chargers knew exactly how Mahomes felt.
They also let double-digit leads slip away in Week 5 when a record-tying six teams lost after leading by double digits.
