ST. JOSEPH, Mo. -- Andy Reid intended to send a message with his first offensive playcall of the preseason last week when he had Xavier Worthy run a post pattern and made him the first read for Patrick Mahomes.

He wanted to establish that big plays are back in the Kansas City Chiefs' passing game.

The Chiefs' opponents, the Jacksonville Jaguars, had other plans. They moved a safety to help with coverage on Worthy and got early pressure on Mahomes, forcing him to make a quicker throw to receiver Marquise Brown.
