Jaylon Moore Shines in Emergency Start at Left Tackle as Chiefs Beat Lions

Coaches credited Andy Heck’s weekly rotations for Moore’s game-day readiness.

Overview

  • Rookie Josh Simmons left the team hours before kickoff for a personal matter, and Andy Reid has not given a timeline for his return.
  • Moore played 40 pass-blocking snaps and allowed three pressures and one sack while taking frequent reps against Aidan Hutchinson.
  • Patrick Mahomes praised Moore’s composure and preparation, and Reid highlighted his steady play after limited recent game reps.
  • Signed in March to a two-year, $30 million deal with $21.2 million guaranteed, Moore shifted to a swing role after the Chiefs drafted Simmons and spent camp rotating across multiple spots.
  • Kansas City’s line held up in a 30-17 win over Detroit, and Moore could be called on to start again next week if Simmons remains away.
