The Jacksonville Jaguars entered Sunday afternoon’s game as the league’s best defensive team, but at halftime, they trailed the Chiefs 20-0 at Arrowhead Stadium thanks to a well-rounded performance by the home team.
This is what I saw in the opening quarters, where the Chiefs entered halftime leading 20-0.
1. Slingin’ in the Rain
The rainy afternoon didn’t keep Patrick Mahomes from showing off his arm. As the rain tapered off, Mahomes hit Sammy Watkins for a 33-yard pass early in the second quarter. It eventually set up a 22-yard field goal. When the rain was still falling steadily in the first quarter, Mahomes hit five different receivers en route to his four-yard touchdown run.
