The Chiefs’ defense started the game well, forcing quarterback Trevor Lawrence and the Jaguars to go three and out. Kansas City would start its first drive of the game at its nine-yard line. Patrick Mahomes made sure they didn’t go down without a fight, regardless of having nearly the whole football field length to travel.
Much like the Jaguars’ first drive, the Chiefs had to punt the ball away. And similar to their first drive, Jacksonville had to punt the ball away again.

Final 5 Minutes
The Chiefs’ usage of Tyquan Thornton this season through five weeks shows that some guys just perform in better offenses. His 32-yard reception got the Chiefs out of a rough situation to begin their second drive of the game, as the Chiefs would eventually score to grab the first lead of the game. 7-0 Chiefs, even after a questionable offensive interference call.
2nd Quarter
The Jaguars believed they got the ball over the goal line, and the Chiefs thought they forced a turnover. The Chiefs ended up with the turnover, and Kareem Hunt rushed out of the end zone with a 33-yard run. Things were turning up Kansas City.
Hollywood Brown also had a 16-yarder to help the Chiefs get into Jaguars territory. Thornton had another deep reception to allow Patrick Mahomes the next play to rush into the end zone, finishing the 97-yard touchdown drive.

5 Minutes Left
If the Chiefs wanted to come away with the victory, they would need a strong drive into Jaguars territory, and they would do just that. With the time ticking down, Kansas City moved methodically closer to the end zone.
Brown once again showed how he’s been a great veteran for the Chiefs this season, getting them within the red zone with less than two minutes on the clock and down by three. Kareem Hunt scored the touchdown, making it 27-24. Harrison Butker pushed the lead to four, 28-24, forcing the Jaguars to have to score a touchdown to win it all.

Lawrence and the Jaguars began to make a mid to win the whole thing, with an explosive pass to Brian Thomas Jr, followed by another great reception by Dyami Brown. A big pass interference call against Chamarri Conner put the Jaguars at the one-yard line with 30 seconds left.
