The Jacksonville Jaguars appeared, at least on paper, the toughest test Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes would have to face through the first five games of the season. While he threw a pair of interceptions, he also spread the ball around to nine different receivers, passed for 313 yards and only took one sack.
Even on what qualifies as a sub-par day for Mahomes — he posted a quarterback rating of 62.7 on Sunday — he led the offense to 23 points (not including Chris Jones’ interception return for a touchdown) against a team that hadn’t allowed more than 20 this season.
