Jaguars’ elevated passing attack will be tough test for Chiefs’ defense

The Kansas City Chiefs are very familiar with their Week 2 foe. The Jacksonville Jaguars were their opponent twice during the 2022 season, with the Chiefs topping them both times. The second was in the AFC Divisional round, a 27-20 result that ended the Jaguars’ most successful season since 2017.

Former Chiefs offensive coordinator Doug Pederson is running the show as head coach and has formed a quality group of skill players around third-year quarterback Trevor Lawrence. He secured key players like wide receivers Christian Kirk, Zay Jones and tight end Evan Engram last offseason, then produced an offense that ranked in the top 10 in scoring and total yards last year.
