The 2023 NFL divisional round of the playoffs started with the No. 1 seeds in both conferences going against teams that finished last in division races for the 2022 campaign. In the first game on Saturday, the Kansas City Chiefs had to overcome some adversity.
At the end of the first quarter, Jacksonville Jaguars edge-rusher Arden Key fell on Patrick Mahomes' ankle, which caused him significant pain. He finished a drive that extended into the second quarter and then Chad Henne took over up until halftime. Mahomes gutted through the second half and led his team to a 27-20 victory over the Jaguars.
