JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS outperform predictions but fall to Kansas City Chiefs, 259.7-202.0

JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS showed up and exceeded expectations, but it wasn't enough to swing the result as Kansas City Chiefs came out on top with a 259.7-202.0 win. JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS leapt out to a 202-point lead early Sunday afternoon behind outstanding showings from Christian Kirk, who caught 6 passes for 117 yards for 25.2 points, and James Robinson, who ran for 66 yards and a touchdown (21.9 points). But Kansas City Chiefs held the lead the rest of the way, powered by Patrick Mahomes (360 Pass Yds, 5 Pass TDs) and Travis Kelce (8 Rec, 121 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD). Kansas City Chiefs (1-0) will look to notch another win against Buffalo Bills, while JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS (0-1) will take on Los Angeles Chargers in an effort to get back on track.
