This weekend, it’s time for the divisional round.

The Jaguars surely don’t have any magic left against the AFC’s top seed, do they? Jacksonville quarterback Trevor Lawrence is on the verge of superstardom, and this playoff run will only raise the confidence of Jacksonville fans in its quarterback.

Chiefs 34, Jaguars 20
