Trevor Lawrence led Jacksonville’s rushing touchdowns, scrambling twice for short-yardage scores including the game-winning 1-yard plunge.
Travis Kelce caught the first touchdown of the game on a short pass from Mahomes. Xavier Worthy’s return from a shoulder injury in the previous week had unlocked the KC offense, and that speed threat was still creating spacing on Monday night.

Little’s 52-yard field goal in Q4 gave Jacksonville a 24–21 lead with just over 8 minutes remaining. That single kick proved to be the difference in a 3-point game.
With 23 seconds left, Lawrence’s right foot was stepped on by guard Patrick Mekari as he took the snap. He stumbled backward several yards. His instinct was to throw the ball away. But when he regained his footing, he saw a lane, broke a tackle, and scored the game-winning rushing touchdown. It was Lawrence’s 26th birthday.
In Q3, Mahomes attempted a short pass toward the goal line intended for JuJu Smith-Schuster. Lloyd stepped in front of it at the 1-yard line and ran 99 yards to the other end zone. It was the longest interception return by a linebacker in NFL regular-season history and flipped the game from tied at 14 to Jacksonville leading 21–14.
After trailing 24–14 heading into the late fourth quarter, Kareem Hunt scored two touchdowns — at 12:25 and 1:48 — to give the Chiefs a 28–24 lead. His first put Kansas City level, his second gave them what appeared to be the lead. Neither held, but his performance was remarkable.
The Chiefs committed 13 penalties for 109 penalty yards. One penalty — a defensive holding call against B. Cook on Lawrence’s final touchdown drive — was declined but reflected the chaos of the final moments. Kansas City’s discipline issues throughout the game cost them valuable field position.

This was one of the most significant wins in recent Jacksonville Jaguars history. Not only did it snap eight straight losses to Kansas City, but it signaled that the Jaguars under new head coach Liam Coen were a legitimate AFC contender.
Chiefs won the stats, lost the game. Kansas City was the better team statistically in nearly every category — more total yards, more first downs, more time of possession, zero sacks allowed. Yet they lost by three points.
Turnovers were decisive. The Chiefs had 1 turnover, but it went 99 yards the wrong way for a touchdown. Jacksonville had 2 turnovers but gave up less because of when and where those turnovers occurred.
Penalties killed Kansas City. Thirteen penalties for 109 yards are extremely difficult to overcome in a one-score game. Several drives that could have extended KC’s lead were set back by flags.
Mahomes rushed for three touchdowns. This was a uniquely mobile performance from Mahomes. He used his legs as a primary weapon in the red zone and nearly willed his team to victory.
Jacksonville’s defense created the momentum shift. Despite zero sacks and 14 missed tackles, the Jaguars defense produced the single most important play of the game — Devin Lloyd’s 99-yard pick-six.
