This afternoon slot in the divisional round isn’t exactly great news for Kansas City if you’re the superstitious type. Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence has never lost a game played on Saturday, be it in his high school, college, or NFL career. He’s undefeated in his 37 carer games played on a Saturday.
Trevor Lawrence is 37-0 on games played on Saturday in his career.

Lawrence has never played the Chiefs and Patrick Mahomes on a Saturday before and they’re already 1-0 against him this season. We’ll see if they can manage to serve him his first career loss on Saturday.
