Lawrence engineered a stunning comeback in the Wildcard round as the Jags fought back from a 27-7 deficit at half-time.
He threw for 211 yards and three touchdowns in a crazy turnaround which sent Jacksonville into their first Divisional contest since 2017.
And to celebrate, Marissa took Trevor and some of his teammates for an epic chow down at a local Waffle House.
The pair have come a long way from their humble beginnings in Cartersville, Georgia.

Both Mowry and Lawrence attended the same high school and began dating in May 2016.
While Trevor was making his mark on the football field, it was on the soccer pitch that Marissa showed off her skills.
Her love for the sport began at the age of five, before excelling in college as a tough-tackling midfielder.
Marissa studied at Anderson University, earning a degree in public relations and playing 25 games in total for the Trojans.

With Trevor starring for Clemson - just a short drive away - the couple was always there to cheer each other on.
Lawrence proposed in the summer of 2020, posting an emotional Instagram post dedicated to his future wife.
He wrote: "FOREVER. You’re everything I’ve dreamed of.
"I love you and can’t wait to marry you."
While Marissa added: "When I sat down and thought about our engagement day I just got overwhelmed with thankfulness that 1) I get to marry my best friend 2) He had the most detailed, sweet proposal planned.
"I have so many amazing friends who celebrated us all weekend and received so much love from everyone."
The couple tied the knot in a lavish South Carolina ceremony in April 2021.
And just months later, Lawrence was selected No1 overall by the Jags in the 2021 NFL Draft.
In three seasons with the Clemson Tigers he threw for over 10,000 yards and 90 touchdowns.
His first season with the Jaguars was a rocky one as the team finished with a dismal 3-14 record.
But they hit back in 2022, with Lawrence leading them to the Divisional round of the playoffs after a 9-8 regular season.
Marissa - who is an aspiring model - has been a constant supporter on social media, where she boasts 320k followers on Instagram.
After Trever helped the Jags to their first postseason since 2017, she posted: "We are going to the PLAYOFFS!!! Love our Jags."
And fans have quickly taken both Lawrence and his high school sweetheart into their hearts.
One replied to a recent post: "I had no idea y’all had been together so long..high school sweethearts! It makes sense based on the affection you have and support you show for each other."
While another added: "First Lady of Duval."
And a third said: "I’m from Cartersville too and you guys make us proud!"
While a fourth simply said: "You are jaw-dropping."
