This is one of those must-win games for the Chiefs. Kansas City is playing great football at 5-2, while the jaguars are 2-5 and playing decidedly not-great football. Jacksonville has looked all kinds of bad on offense, while the defense looks to quit last Thursday night against the Tennessee Titans.
While the Chiefs are dealing with all sorts of injuries, they need to put the proverbial hammer down. They are the better team, at home. Kansas City also knows that with a win today, it will move into second place of the AFC West. Why? Because the Oakland Raiders are hosting the Denver Broncos on Sunday night, and one of them will lose.
