The story so far
4 wins, 3 away, 2 in the division, 3 in the Conference. It’s been quite the ride for the Chiefs so far this season. Next 2 games are crucial for playoff tie breakers. Hands up if you had the Chiefs 6-0 after 6 games? No, me either.
The Jags have had 2 great games, one meh and one What? game. Thrashing the Patriots was very impressive, losing 9-6 to the Titans about as far down the other end of the spectrum. Still, that defence though…
Head to head
Jaguars lead 6-5

One to watch
The 7th best paid ILB in the league isn’t playing up to the billing of a big price Free Agent. The linebackers in general have been, er, underwhelming. If the Jags D is able to keep the Chiefs offence under control then the Chiefs D will need to do likewise. Hitchens needs to play like the player the Chiefs thought they were getting.
Key matchup
Tyreek Hill v Jalen Ramsey.
Elite CB against Elite Return Specialist. This promises to be an epic battle. Ramsey is capable of shutting down half of the field, can he keep a lid on Tyreek Hill?

What they said
Head Coach Doug Marrone
“Those guys are kicking ass,”
What we said
Tyreek Hill on Jalen Ramsey
“He think high of himself,” Hill said of Ramsey. “He’s all right, I guess. I can’t wait to line up against him. I hope he presses me.
“He’s a great player. To get my name out there more, I need to go up against more talent like him. I’m not calling [Denver’s] Chris Harris or nobody else bad, but he’s top dog right now, so I can’t wait.”
