Overview
- Patrick Mahomes’ goal-line throw toward JuJu Smith-Schuster was intercepted by Devin Lloyd and returned 99 yards for a third-quarter touchdown that put Jacksonville ahead 21-14.
- The return was the longest interception of Mahomes’ career and his only pick of the night, yet it proved decisive in the eventual loss.
- Trevor Lawrence later engineered the winning drive and scored at the goal line to clinch a 31-28 victory at EverBank Stadium.
- On ESPN2’s ManningCast, Chiefs superfan Heidi Gardner repeatedly said “No” during the play as Peyton Manning quipped, “I think Lloyd heard you say JuJu,” with clips widely shared by SportsCenter and Omaha Productions.
- Lloyd’s pick-six marked his league-best fourth interception of the season after earning AFC Defensive Player of the Month for September, while the Chiefs next host the Lions on Sunday night before Rashee Rice becomes eligible to return from suspension.
