It's the biggest question heading into championship weekend: What is the status of Patrick Mahomes? The Chiefs star showed grit by returning to play; is there cause for optimism? ByNateTaylor has the latest:
“That’s my favorite thing to do,” Reid said of blitzing. “When guys create a pass rush and pressure the quarterback, that leads to turnovers in the secondary. We couldn’t have dialed it up any better.”
Meanwhile, Mahomes, who struggled at times with his accuracy in the second half, saved his best work for the most critical moment. The Jaguars scored their lone touchdown of the second half early in the fourth quarter to cut the Chiefs’ lead to three points.
Kelce’s presence influenced the Jaguars’ coverage in the red zone in the middle of the fourth quarter. With the Jaguars assigning two defenders to Kelce, Valdes-Scantling knew all he needed to do was beat cornerbackon a slant to get open in the back of the end zone. Mahomes stepped up in the pocket and delivered a 6-yard jump pass to Valdes-Scantling, who was wide open in the back of the end zone.
