The Jacksonville Jaguars open their 2019 season against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday. It’s not the easiest of tasks to face a high-powered offense and the reigning NFL MVP in the same weekend, but the Jaguars defense will go out and show it is still one of the best in the league.
This is the kind of matchup that has playoff implications from the start. Given the NFL season is short, every game matters. The Chiefs are looking to get back to the AFC Title game and move on to a Super Bowl berth.
The Jaguars are trying to erase bad memories of a 2018 season that proved to be underwhelming and at times combustible.
