The Jaguars wasted numerous chances for a big upset on Sunday, losing 27-17 to the Chiefs. Where does the team stand entering the bye week?
An improving Trevor Lawrence turned in another excellent game, but the Jaguars didn’t give him much help. His 19-yard touchdown pass to Christian Kirk with 5 minutes, 26 seconds left made the score a respectable 27-17, but the hole was too deep to get out of.
Mahomes picked Jacksonville’s defense apart and was seldom even pressured when dropping back to pass. The Jaguars didn’t have a sack. Top pass rushers Josh Allen and No. 1 overall draft pick Travon Walker were nonfactors again, something that’s becoming a theme as the season wears on. Mahomes threw four touchdown passes, two to tight end Travis Kelce, and made one mistake all game, a fourth-quarter interception by Andre Cisco.
One of the best plays of the day came on the first of the game, an onside kick that Riley Patterson recovered. Jacksonville would have likely gotten something out of that drive, but a Lawrence pass to Kirk was dropped inside the red zone.The Jaguars also stopped a Kansas City drive at the 7 when Rayshawn Jenkins leveled Isiah Pacheco and Devin Lloyd scooped up the fumble. Jacksonville eventually had to punt it away.
The final score was respectable, but mistakes were the story of the game. Lawrence had a 4-yard touchdown pass to Evan Engram nullified on the opening drive of the second half following a penalty on Cam Robinson. They had to settle for a Patterson 35-yard field goal.
