I expect the Kansas City Chiefs and their offense to come out and make a statement against the Jacksonville Jaguars after a frustrating week one performance. Look for Kansas City to pass the ball a lot and for the receivers to be more productive with Travis Kelce back to take attention from them
The vibes for the Chiefs and Jags are going in opposite directions. The Chiefs getting stronger with potentially both Chris Jones and Travis Kelce coming back following a tough loss to Detroit. The Jags, on the other hand, may be without two starting offensive linemen who got hurt during a ten-point victory over the Indianapolis Colts. Coach Andy Reid had a full week to put together a scheme that fit the personnel he will have on offense and the Chiefs defense will put pressure on Jags quarterback Trevor Lawrence all afternoon
The Chiefs have a lot of corrections to make from their Week 1 loss to Detroit, but all of what ailed them in Week 1 seems to be something that you would expect to autocorrect quicker than your iPhone changing a certain word to “duck”. Kadarius Toney and Skyy Moore, despite popular belief, can in fact catch footballs. Andy Reid and Matt Nagy are in fact great offensive minds.
The positives going into Week 2 following the Week 1 upset? The offensive line ranked at or near the top of the league in run and pass block win rate, and the defense played out of their minds even without Chris Jones on the field. All of these corrections, additions to the roster, and already set foundational pieces should lead to a nice turnaround for Kansas City in an early season schedule that looks suddenly less daunting with Aaron Rodgers on the shelf
