‘It’s going to be crazy’: Jaguars pose toughest test to Chiefs’ offense | ESPN

“It’s going to be fun,” Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill said. “This is by far the best defense we have faced. ... We’ve got the best offense going against the best defense, the fastest offense against the fastest defense, so it’s going to be crazy, plays made everywhere.”

Reid, Chiefs coaches collaborate with Patrick Mahomes in Denver win | The Wichita Eagle

In the time between the Chiefs’ series, Reid, Henne, offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy and quarterback coach Mike Kafka talked with Mahomes, often as a group, trading ideas as frequently as they gave each other advice.

NFL Week 5 game picks: Chiefs over Jaguars; Eagles nip Vikings | NFL

How do the Jaguars defend Patrick Mahomes? Do they rush the front four only and play coverage on the back end with numbers? If so, they will need to account for Kareem Hunt (who was fantastic in the win on “Monday Night Football”) by playing a safety close to the line or using all three linebackers. They can blitz or try to confuse Mahomes, but I’m not sure that will work ... especially with crowd noise not being a factor for the Chiefs’ offense.

Rank’s 11 Week 5 Sleepers: Derek Carr leads the way | NFL

With Fournette out this week, T.J. Yeldon is such a boss play against the Chiefs. I believe he’s done enough over the course of the season to earn a role for the rest of the year because there is no way Fournette is going to tote the rock 300 times this season. Hell, I’d be happy with 200. But Yeldon ... He’s an amazing Week 5 play.
