Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence got off to a shaky start in the flag football competition at the 2023 Pro Bowl Games, throwing a pick six on his first drive.
Lawrence redeemed himself late in the game by connecting with the Buffalo Bills’ Stefon Diggs for a huge touchdown.
After three straight incompletions — including one to a streaking Jamal Agnew — the AFC faced a fourth down from its own 5-yard line. While 20 yards would’ve been enough a first down, Lawrence went for it all and found Diggs down the right sideline for a 45-yard touchdown.

It was the second touchdown pass of the game for Lawrence, who led a lengthy drive in the first half that ended with a short touchdown pass to the Las Vegas Raiders’ Davante Adams.

Earlier in the game, the AFC ran a trick play with a couple backward passes that eventually led to Lawrence running a route in the end zone and Diggs throwing a pass his direction. However, that throw was intercepted by Diggs’ younger brother, Dallas Cowboys cornerback Trevon Diggs.
With Lawrence at quarterback, the AFC won the second flag football game of the day, 18-13.
