head out west to take on the Kansas City Chiefs (-8.5) in the 2023 NFL Divisional Round of the playoffs. It’s an unlikely spot for the Jaguars to be in, as most didn’t expect them to have a winning record when the season started, let alone winning the AFC South and advancing out of the Wild Card Round.
The Chiefs and the Jaguars matched up once already this season, with the Chiefs winning 27-17, but from the Jaguars perspective the game felt like it could have been a lot closer than that. The Chiefs turned the ball over three times on the day, but the Jaguars offense simply couldn’t capitalize on them and put points on the board.
