The Kansas City Chiefs<\/a> sought to continue their winning ways on Monday Night Football against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The crucial matchup pits Kansas City against one of the young, up-and-coming teams in the AFC on a prime-time national stage, creating the ideal atmosphere on the road to send a message to the league.<\/p>\n

Patrick Mahomes was efficient to start the game, but ran into issues with Jacksonville’s defense that performed as advertised. A Travis Kelce touchdown reception opened the scoring, but aside from that and Mahomes’ run for a score, there was little movement until the fourth quarter.<\/p>\n

The Chiefs’ defense held tough for the majority of the game, applying pressure on Trevor Lawrence and securing sacks (by Jaylen Watson, Charles Omenihu, and a shared sack from Leo Chenal and George Karlaftis) in the process. Kareem Hunt’s touchdown run evened the score following a clutch interception from Trent McDuffie. Lawrence’s late second scramble to the endzone clinched the devastating loss for Kansas City.<\/p>\n

Check out how some of Kansas City’s stars fared in the Chiefs’ loss to Jacksonville:<\/p>\n

Stock Up: Tyquan Thornton<\/p>\n

Thornton continues to show the football world he’s a budding star in the wide receivers room with another standout performance on Monday night. The former second-round draft pick finished with four catches for 90 yards.<\/p>\n

Stock Up: Trent McDuffie<\/p>\n

An All-Pro performance from McDuffie, who broke up passes, collected two tackles, and had a game-changing fourth-quarter interception.<\/p>\n

Stock Up: Kareem Hunt<\/p>\n

The running game was put back on track with Hunt’s performance against a tough Jaguars defense. He finished the game with 49 yards rushing, averaging 7 yards a carry, and two touchdowns, one of which was the go-ahead score in the fourth quarter.<\/p>\n

Stock Down: Jack Cochrane<\/p>\n

Multiple penalties on special teams from Cochrane were crucial in the game, but none bigger than the last holding call in the fourth quarter as the Chiefs attempted a comeback.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Kansas City Chiefs sought to continue their winning ways on Monday Night Football against the Jacksonville Jaguars.…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":283893,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[5136],"tags":[5229,8015,8019,88940,11549,146307,3001,2451,2074,3188,723,1318,19277,146308,11652,34227,7310,146312,146282,19785,3570,146310,96662,146313,43940,9067,34968,1571,5382,50,1232,12623,146311,450,1457,15912,34238,1451,62,1458,1533,3572,9066,9076,67,586,132,5230,68,2969,85411],"class_list":["post-283892","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-jacksonville","tag-america","tag-american","tag-american-football","tag-american-football-conference","tag-charles","tag-charles-omenihu","tag-chiefs","tag-city","tag-conference","tag-fl","tag-florida","tag-football","tag-george","tag-george-karlaftis","tag-hub","tag-hunt","tag-jacksonville","tag-jaylen","tag-jaylen-watson","tag-kansas","tag-kansas-city-chiefs","tag-kareem","tag-kareem-hunt","tag-karlaftis","tag-kelce","tag-lawrence","tag-mahomes","tag-national","tag-national-sports","tag-news","tag-nfl","tag-nfl-hub","tag-omenihu","tag-overall","tag-overall-positive","tag-patrick","tag-patrick-mahomes","tag-positive","tag-sports","tag-sports-news","tag-travis","tag-travis-kelce","tag-trevor","tag-trevor-lawrence","tag-united-states","tag-united-states-of-america","tag-unitedstates","tag-unitedstatesofamerica","tag-us","tag-usa","tag-watson"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":"Validation failed: Text character limit of 500 exceeded"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/283892","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=283892"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/283892\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/283893"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=283892"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=283892"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=283892"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
