Grading the Jaguars' performance against the Kansas City Chiefs based on execution, effort and game circumstances.
Defense: C-plus
Mahomes stayed in on a bum ankle to finish a field-goal drive for a 10-7 lead, but Henne delivered maybe the biggest march of the Chiefs’ season on KC’s next possession. He led a 12-play, 98-yard drive, culminated with a 1-yard TD pass to tight end Travis Kelce, who finished with 14 catches for 98 yards and a pair of scores.The defense not forcing a punt in that situation was a huge setback.
The Jaguars continue to get clutch returns from Agnew, who went 63 yards untouched on a kickoff until forced out of bounds by Jaylen Watson. That set up the Jaguars’ first touchdown to tie things up at 7-7. Riley Patterson hit field goal attempts of 41 and 48 yards, but had an unsuccessful onside kick at the end that was recovered by Kadarius Toney.It’s hard to quibble too much of what Doug Pederson did from a play-calling standpoint.
The Jaguars needed to play their best game of the season to beat the Chiefs in this setting and the players simply didn’t do enough to make it happen.
