Happy Wednesday, Big Cat Country! The Jacksonville Jaguars are currently 3-1, and football feels fun again. The Jaguars have a long week, as Monday Night Football will return with the Kansas City Chiefs for Week 5. The two teams have played each other 16 times, and the Chiefs lead the series 10-6. The Chiefs have won the last eight meetings, so let’s look at the good, the bad, and the ugly while we hope the Jags break the streak in a few days.

The Bad

AFC Divisional Playoff at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium on January 21, 2023
Final score: Jaguars 20 – Chiefs 27
Attendance: 73,220

The Jags were on an amazing run. The season had taken a turn for the better; they defeated the Tennessee Titans (fuck ‘em) for the AFC South, had the Wildcard comeback against the Chargers, and the vibes were high heading into this game. We thought the team was going to the Super Bowl and going to win that bitch. The Jaguars received the ball first, and the offense went three and out, followed by the Chiefs scoring on their opening drive. Jamal Agnew had a 63-yard return to set the offense up with great field position, which led to a Christian Kirk touchdown to tie the game at the end of the first quarter. The Chiefs put ten points on the board before Riley Patterson made the attempted field goal, bringing the score to 17-10 at the half. The teams traded punts before Harrison Butker scored a field goal, and Lawrence was sacked to wrap up the third quarter. Hope was not yet lost at the start of the fourth. Both teams scored touchdowns, then we had a series of unfortunate events. When the Jaguars were in the red zone again, Agnew fumbled the ball, and Lawrence had a pass intercepted – season over. Trevor Lawrence completed 24 out of 39 attempted passes for 217 yards. Travis Etienne led the team with 62 rushing yards, and Zay Jones led with 83 receiving yards. Jamal Agnew averaged 43.67 yards in kickoff returns and 7.67 yards in punt returns. Logan Cooke punted four times for 191 yards, and Riley Patterson made the two attempted field goals. Foye Oluokun led the team with 14 combined tackles.

The Ugly

Week 1 at EverBank Field on September 8, 2013
Final score: Chiefs 28 – Jaguars 2
Attendance: 59,416

I had a hard time choosing between this game and the AFC Divisional Playoff for “the ugly”, but ultimately, this one won out because starting the season without scoring a touchdown, and the only two points scored happened during the first quarter, is just sad. Blaine Gabbert completed 16 out of 35 attempted passes for 121 yards, was intercepted twice, and sacked six times for a loss of 50 yards. Chad Henne completed three out of six attempted passes for 36 yards. Maurice Jones-Drew led the team with 45 rushing yards, and Cecil Shorts led with 40 receiving yards. Bryan Anger punted 11 times for 556 yards for an average of 50.5 yards. Jason Babin recorded the lone sack, and Paul Posluszny led the team with ten solo tackles.
