""We have the guys and we've executed at certain points in games and looked really good, but we crush ourselves with penalties and mistakes," Mahomes said. "We've done that to ourselves all season long. It's been one guy here or there. In this league, it's so close that those [moments] change games. "We've got to be better. We've lost too many games already.""
"In the Jaguars' final drive, Lawrence handled the Chiefs' blitz well, throwing a perfect pass to receiver Brian Thomas Jr. for a 33-yard gain, the ball placed just above of the outstretched arm of cornerback Jaylen Watson. When the Chiefs had proper coverage, Lawrence countered by using his scrambling legs to gain chunks of yards. Even when Lawrence stumbled under center, with the Jaguars at the 1-yard line, he was still able to get up and scamper into the end zone for the game-winning score."
Five games into the season, the Kansas City Chiefs fell 31-28 to the Jacksonville Jaguars after surrendering a last-minute 1-yard touchdown run by Trevor Lawrence. Patrick Mahomes led the offense on a touchdown that produced a four-point lead, but the defense could not stop the Jaguars' final drive. The Chiefs have lost three one-score games so far this season, mirroring last season's heavy reliance on tight victories when they recorded 11 one-score wins. Persistent penalties and individual mistakes have undermined execution and changed game outcomes. The Chiefs must reduce errors and improve late-game defense to win close contests.
