Riley Patterson’s 41-yard subject objective pulls the Jags inside 17-10. Until Mahomes comes out for this Kansas Metropolis drive, I might suppose that is the rating with which we’ll head into halftime.

Kirk is getting some heavy utilization right here within the first half. 5 catches for 43 yards and a rating on 8 targets. Ought to have had much more than this if not for the drop.
Pinned
Kirk simply ran proper throughout the face of slot nook L’Jarius Sneed on that one and got here away with a third-down conversion. Sneed has to make that tougher on him.
Pinned
OH MY GOD. Christian Kirk completely vast open behind the Kansas Metropolis protection for what ought to have been a 64-yard landing however he simply dropped the ball. Throw was possibly JUST a bit too lengthy, however Kirk received each fingers on it.

What a drive for Chad Henne and the Chiefs: 12 performs, 98 yards, and a landing. Henne went 5 of seven for 23 yards and the rating, a 1-yard toss to Kelce.
Pinned
Pacheco is as much as 7 carries for 78 yards now. In fact, half of these got here on that 39-yard run.
Pinned
What a run by Pacheco! Stopped on the line of scrimmage however not taken down, so he bounced it to the skin and was off to the races. Simply received caught just a few yards earlier than the objective line.

Mahomes is again on the sideline, and he has his helmet on. Usually if you’re positively not coming again into the sport, the coaching employees takes away your helmet.
Pinned
Foye Oluokun ALMOST got here away with a choose there on a tipped move. Travis Kelce was vast open over the center however it received tipped on the line and popped up into the air.
Pinned
Reminder about what occurred the last time Chad Henne needed to play in a playoff sport for the Chiefs.
Pinned
The Chiefs are sending Mahomes to the locker room, and he isn’t completely happy about it.
Pinned
Each quarterbacks are being compelled to repeatedly test the ball down beneath. Mahomes is at 5.6 yards per try and Lawrence is at 5.9 per try.

Pinned
Trevor Lawrence is a really huge man (6-foot-6), so these QB sneaks are fairly efficient for him.
Pinned
Butker, who has been very inconsistent this season, nails the sphere objective from 50 yards out to place the Chiefs up 10-7. Most vital factor for KC proper now, although, is whether or not Mahomes might be himself for the remainder of the sport/playoffs.
Pinned
Mahomes tried to carry up on the throw and simply dropped the ball as a substitute. Seems just like the Chiefs will kick a subject objective, and the replay exhibits it is clearly an incomplete move and never a fumble.
Pinned
Oh, it is his ankle and never his knee? On the hit it appeared like Key fell on his knee from behind.
Pinned
Mahomes is clearly EXTREMELY gimpy. They’ll put a wrap and/or brace on his knee between quarters, after which we’ll see if he can preserve taking part in.
Pinned
OUCH. That is going to have an effect on his mobility for the remainder of the sport I might guess.
Pinned
Mahomes is holding the ball for fairly a very long time within the pocket. However now he is additionally holding his knee after that final throw. Lower than best. Seems like Arden Key fell on him from behind and he bent awkwardly backward. Ugh. Pinned
Kadarius Toney doesn’t play a ton of snaps, however when he’s on the sphere, the Chiefs attempt to get him the ball as typically as potential. He is received two touches already.

Implausible throw from Lawrence to Christian Kirk within the entrance nook of the top zone. Kirk lined up within the backfield and received matched up in a linebacker, and Lawrence took benefit. Received the throw off JUST earlier than the blitz hit house.
Pinned
That is Etienne’s first carry of the sport and it goes for 19 yards to get Jacksonville into the purple zone. Good job breaking by the road and creating yards after contact.

HUGE return for Jamal Agnew. Offers the Jags a possibility to attain just about instantly. Desperately wanted.
