A game that looked like the Kansas City Chiefs would dominate early on turned into a nightmare before their eyes.

Trevor Lawrence led a strong comeback over the three-time AFC champions to give the Jacksonville Jaguars a 31-28 win.

It looked like it was all Kansas City early, as the Chiefs got out to a 14-0 lead with touchdowns by Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes. However, Trevor Lawrence was able to find Parker Washington before the end of the first half, and Lawrence ran one in on Jacksonville’s first drive of the second to tie it up.

The Chiefs responded by marching all the way down the field, getting a huge third down catch by Hollywood Brown at the Jacksonville 3-yard line. However, on second down, Mahomes’ slant to JuJu Smith-Schuster was intercepted by Devin Lloyd at the 1 and returned 99 yards to the house, giving the Jaguars a 21-14 lead with 2:19 to go in the third quarter.

After forcing a Chiefs punt, the Jags had all the momentum – until Lawrence threw an interception inside his own 20-yard line. After a 14-yard catch by Kelce, Kareem Hunt punched one in from five yards out and tied the game at 21 with 12:20 left, but Jacksonville re-took the lead with a field goal a few minutes later. The Chiefs, though, went on a 12-play, 87-yard drive that ended in Hunt’s second rushing touchdown of the night to take a 28-24 lead with 1:45 to go.

Lawrence and the Jags had one final chance with two timeouts, and he got inside the red zone with 48 seconds left. A pass in the end zone was intercepted, but the Chiefs were called for defensive pass interference, giving Jacksonville the ball at the 1-yard line. On the next play, Lawrence, albeit with a trip to the grass, rushed in for a score and gave the Jaguars a 31-28 lead with 23 seconds to go.

The Chiefs had three timeouts, but with the ball inside their own 20, not even they could get anything going, and a Hail Mary fell well short to give the Jags the victory.

It was the first win for Jacksonville over Kansas City since 2009.

Lawrence threw for only 221 yards on 18-for-25 passing, but his two rushing touchdowns helped. He was also the team’s leading rusher with 10 carries for 54 yards. Mahomes went 29-for-41 for 318 yards.

Lawrence, who was also celebrating his 26th birthday, admitted there was "sheer panic" on his fall, as the Jags didn’t have any timeouts.

"Got stepped on coming out and I was like, ‘I gotta get up.’ And I was gonna throw it out of bounds to stop the clock and there was really no one around me. So went and made a play," Lawrence said.

Surely, they are not panicking at their 4-1 record, though. Meanwhile, Kansas City fell to 2-3.

The Jaguars host the Seattle Seahawks next week, while the Chiefs will host the Detroit Lions.

A researcher believes he's cracked the mystery behind the sinking of Sir Ernest Shackleton's legendary ship Endurance.

Part of one of the most famous Antarctic expeditions in history, Endurance set sail from England to the White Continent in August 1914.  On Jan. 18, 1915, the ship became frozen in place about 76 miles from the coast of Antarctica. 

Locked in sea ice for the next ten months, Endurance drifted slowly across the Weddell Sea until it sank on Nov. 21, 1915.

The ship is so famous because its sinking was disastrous, but not tragic – Shackleton guided all 27 crew members to safety and was able to slowly remove cargo, supplies and boats before the vessel sank.

In an Oct. 6 article in the journal Polar Record, Aalto University professor Jukka Tuhkuri argues that the culprit of the sinking lay not in the pressure of the ice, but in the ship's structural weaknesses.

At the time, Endurance was regarded as nearly indestructible, but Tuhkuri's research suggests its reputation was unwarranted.

The Finnish researcher argues the ship's loss stemmed from deeper engineering flaws, not just damage to its rudder. The vessel was built for Arctic, but not quite Antarctic, conditions.

"While the final reason was tearing off the keel, Endurance sank because the vessel was simply crushed in compression by ice," wrote Tuhkuri.

"This is not surprising, Endurance was not designed for compressive conditions in the Antarctic pack ice, but for easier conditions at the ice edge in the Arctic."

The polar engineering expert consulted letters from Shackleton and expedition diaries during his research, as well as conducting a structural analysis of the ship itself.

Its engine room lacked cross-beams to distribute compressive forces, and the hull had limited diagonal bracing, which left it vulnerable to side-to-side crushing by ice.

"The weakest part of its hull was the engine room area, which was not only larger than in other early Antarctic ships but also lacked beams to give strength against compression by ice," the article details.

"Comparison with other wooden polar ships is not favourable for Endurance: ships designed for compressive pack ice were stronger. It is also evident from archive research that Shackleton was well aware of the weaknesses of Endurance even before his expedition set sail for Antarctica."

The research comes over three years after the remains of Endurance were found roughly 9,840 feet below the surface of the Weddell Sea in 2022.

Mensun Bound, director of exploration for the Endurance22 expedition, called the vessel "by far the finest wooden shipwreck I have ever seen."

"It is upright, well proud of the seabed, intact, and in a brilliant state of preservation," Bound reported. "You can even see ‘Endurance' arced across the stern, directly below the taffrail."
