On Saturday night, the Kansas City Chiefs looked sloppy — and made critical mistakes in their first opportunities under the NFL’s new kickoff rules — on the way to a 26-13 road loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2024’s preseason opener.
First quarter
The Jacksonville Jaguars won the opening coin toss, deferring the decision to the second half. That set up the Kansas City Chiefs to take first possession, starting from the 30-yard line after a touchback.
Quarterback Patrick Mahomes got the starting offense going early, dropping back on the first snap and finding wide receiver Hollywood Brown over the middle for a first down.
