The Chiefs played the Jaguars well enough to win -- and poorly enough to lose

The Chiefs played the Jaguars well enough to win  --  and poorly enough to lose

The Kansas City offense shrugged off the punt that ended its first drive -- which was made easier by the defense forcing punts on the Jaguars' first two drives. The Chiefs moved out to a 14-0 lead on two drives that were highlighted by long passes to wide receiver Tyquan Thornton and the game's longest run: a 33-yard rumble by running back Kareem Hunt.

In between those drives, Jacksonville drove downfield, finding itself with a first-and-goal at the Kansas City 7-yard line. But on three straight plays, the defense held. On fourth down at the 1-yard line, the Jaguars went for broke -- and as quarterback Trevor Lawrence tried to extend the ball across the goal line on a quarterback sneak, linebacker Nick Bolton pushed the other way. The ball came out of Lawrence's hands before it could cross the plane, sending the Jaguars' offense to the sideline empty-handed.
