The chiefs were lucky.
They scored on a throw of 2 yards by Patrick Mahomes in Travis Kelce to the third goal. The officials, however, launched a flag for interference of offensive passes.
Juju Smith-Schuster released Kelce with a friction that released the corner half of Jourdan Lewis and security Eric Murray.
Mahomes quickly argued with officials that Smith-Schuster was less than 1 meters from the melee line when he released Murray, which would have made the legal piece. ESPN rules analyst Russell Yurk said officials should have stayed with Pass interference.
The chiefs led 7-0 with 4:02 to do at the first quarter.
The big game on the nine games, 72 yards by car was the launch of 32 yards of Mahomas in Tyquan Thornton on a total blitz by the Jaguars. The jaguars challenged Thornton’s catches, but the game was held after rereading.
Mahomes is 9 out of 11 for 107 yards, and Kelce has three catches for 17 yards.
This gives Kelce the team record for versatile yards at 12,357, at the top of Dante Hall (12,356). Ball carrier Jamaal Charles and the tight winger Tony Gonzalez rank in third and fourth on the list.
The touch was the 79th of Kelce’s career.
