Kansas City Chiefs:
The Kansas City Chiefs lost 31-28 to the Jaguars on Monday night in a back-and-forth contest. Mahomes completed 29-of-41 for 318 passing yards, two touchdowns (1 passing, 1 rushing), and an interception that was returned 99 yards for a Jacksonville score.
The Chiefs outgained the Jaguars 476 to 319 as Mahomes led the Chiefs with 60 yards on six carries, but it wasn’t enough to close out the win.
Kansas City had a 14-0 lead in the second quarter, but the Jaguars answered back and eventually took a 24-21 lead in the fourth. A two-yard touchdown from RB Kareem Hunt put Kansas City back on top with under two minutes remaining.
But the Jaguars responded, and Trevor Lawrence scrambled into the endzone for the game-winning touchdown.

“It kinda just talks about our entire season. We have the guys and we’ve executed at certain points in games and looked really good, but we kinda crush ourselves with penalties and mistakes and interceptions and fumbles and whatever that is,” said Mahomes after the loss . “We’ve done that to ourselves all season long. It’s been one guy here or there. In this league, it’s so close that those change games. We’ve got to be better. We’ve lost too many games already. We gotta find a way to be better as a team.”
Last season, the Chiefs finished the regular season 15-2. Entering Week 6 with a 2-3 record, Kansas City is tied for its worst mark through five games since Mahomes became the starter in 2018.
