The magical season of the Jaguars ended with a 27-20 loss to the Chiefs in the AFC divisional playoffs on Saturday night.
The Chiefs, with an ailing and hobbled Patrick Mahomes, ended the storybook season of the Jaguars with a 27-20 win in the AFC divisional playoffs on a cold Saturday night at Arrowhead Stadium.
The game was all about the resolve of Mahomes and his work carving up Jacksonville’s defense. He did it from open to close, with a little bit of a break in the middle. Injured on a tackle in the last minutes of the first quarter, Mahomes went to the sidelines and was replaced by Chad Henne. The former Jaguars quarterback came in and diced Jacksonville up for a 98-yard scoring drive.As advertised, it was just too much for Jacksonville. Travis Kelce was uncoverable.
With Mahomes in the locker room getting his injured ankle looked at, the Jaguars downed a Logan Cooke punt at the 2. Backup quarterback Henne, a former Jaguars player, marched the Chiefs 98 yards in 12 plays, capped by a 1-yard touchdown pass to Kelce. The end result is disappointing, sure, but not even the most ardent Jaguars fan could have predicted a finish like this. The Jaguars were sitting at 3-7 after a loss to the Chiefs in Week 10. What followed was comparable to the magical second half run in 1996.
