Jaguars Beat Chiefs on Stumbling Trevor Lawrence TD as Chris Jones’ Effort Draws Scrutiny

Jones said the defense failed to finish, taking responsibility for the quarterback containment.

Overview

  • Trevor Lawrence scored the go-ahead touchdown with 23 seconds left to secure a 31-28 Jacksonville win after twice losing his footing near the goal line.
  • Viral replays prompted widespread criticism of Chiefs All-Pro Chris Jones for not immediately pursuing Lawrence on the decisive play.
  • Coverage noted that Jones’s exact assignment on the call has not been clarified publicly, with some suggesting he may have been positioned as a QB spy.
  • Jones told reporters “We gave this game away,” emphasizing that the defensive line must be more disciplined in rush lanes and finish tackles.
  • The result moved the Jaguars to 4-1 under first-year coach Liam Coen and dropped the Chiefs to 2-3, with Kansas City scheduled to host the Lions on Sunday night.
