Kansas City Chiefs scored a beautiful win against Jacksonville Jaguars with a score of 17-9 on Sunday. This win counts as the first win at National Football League by the Chiefs. The players of Kansas made a pretty good defense and won the game. 

The Jaguars were held back by nine points and zero touchdowns across 11 possessions. 
Jacksonville was 3-of-12 on third down and 0-3 in the red zone, collecting 271 yards of total offense on the day. 

Jacksonville made a goal early in the fourth quarter which put some pressure on the other team. The Chiefs weren’t at their best game in the first- half. But their game in the second half got better and right after their exit from the locker room in the third quarter their scores shot up and marched 81 yards down the field on seven plays while Kelce scored his first touchdown in the game. 

It is still a debate to understand the reason behind the win for the match, while the duo, Travis Kelce, and Chris Jones were at their best game and both of them are amazing defensive tackles,  Chris Jones and tight end Travis Kelce made their 2023 debuts in this matchup, and both made considerable impacts. Jones recorded 1.5 sacks, and Travis Kelce caught a touchdown.

Patrick Mahomes, another star player on Sunday gave quite a performance on his birthday he tied a career-high by completing passes to 11 different receivers and finished with 305 passing yards, two touchdowns, and an interception despite his mistakes, turnovers, and penalties.  The game did not start quite smoothly for the Chiefs with Kadarius Toney, who struggled with drops in the opener but finished with 35 yards after catching all five targets.

Other players like Skyy Moore and Isiah Pacheco made sure to give their best in their game. Moore received 70 yards and a touchdown on three catches. Whereas, Isiah ran 12 times for 70 yards. 

Kansas City Chiefs have recently renewed their contract with Chris Jones, and the team brings a massive win home. While there have been rumors about Travis dating the sensational singer and songwriter, Taylor Swift. 

The City Chiefs will have their next game the following week with the Chicago Bears. It is until next week when we find out if the City Chiefs can earn a second win or have to return home.
