- Chiefs defense is dwindling. Dee Ford kicked out for second unsportsmanlike penalty.

First quarter

- Spencer Ware comes up big with a short catch and gets the first down. Watkins on the other hand...
Heck of a catch by Spencer Ware for a first down and thank goodness it went to him - Sammy Watkins didn't know the play call. Holding his hands up confused before Mahomes got the snap.

It's a nice luxury to have a fullback who can line up and take TE snaps when needed. Nice play from Anthony Sherman right there on third down. #Chiefs driving.

Looks like the rain just slowed for Mahomes, of course.

Pregame
- Fans can be heard booing as a couple of Jaguars players run across the field
There is optimistic that #Chiefs WR Sammy Watkins (hamstring) plays today, source said, assuming he has no setbacks in warmups. His injury was minor.

- Dee Ford, Armani Watts and Sammy Watkins all listed as active and were on the field warming up with the Chiefs before today’s game
