NFL Divisional round: Lil Jon could be ill omen for Jaguars vs Chiefs
In the NFL Divisional Round, the Kansas City Chiefs will face the Jacksonville Jaguars at Arrowhead Stadium. The Chiefs just announced that Lil Jon will perform during halftime to entertain fans.
However, Lil Jon performing at Arrowhead Stadium could be a very bad thing for the Jaguars. The last time Jon performed during halftime of a Chiefs game was back in 2016.
The Kansas City Chiefs went on to win that game 30-0 on the road against a Houston Texans team that won the AFC South that season. Alex Smith was the quarterback for KC back then, and he had a great game.
Since then, the Chiefs have become a juggernaut, with Patrick Mahomes taking over as starting quarterback. It is definitely going to be a very tough game for Trevor Lawrence and company.
Moreover, Lil Jon performing at halftime of the NFL Divisional Round game will excite the fans further, and they will be in full flow during the second half to support the home team. Trevor Lawrence has already fueled the fire within the Chiefs fans with his comments about the loudness in the stadium, and it could turn out to be a very long night for him.
Trevor Lawrence could make a statement in this NFL Divisional round game
Trevor Lawrence faced a lot of criticism after a poor start to his NFL career, but he bounced back well in his sophomore season with Doug Pederson.
The Jaguars won the AFC South and shocked the Los Angeles Chargers in the Wild Card game. If Lawrence and the Jaguars are able to cause an upset over the Chiefs in the NFL Divisional Round, it will send shockwaves around the league.
The Jaguars are a +8.5 point underdog in this game against the Chiefs, and a herculean effort will be required from the whole team to get a win. Although Lawrence is confident about his team's chances, playing at Arrowhead Stadium in the playoffs is always tough.
So far this season, Lawrence has thrown for 4,113 yards, 25 touchdowns, and eight interceptions in 17 games. In the Wild Card game against the Chargers, Lawrence started the game with four interceptions in the first half but ultimately led his team to a win.
He finished his first playoff game in the NFL completing 28 passes in 47 attempts for 288 yards with four touchdowns and four interceptions. It will be fascinating to see how he will fare against the Chiefs in the NFL Divisional round.
