Chiefs vs. Jaguars: How to watch, game time, TV schedule, streaming and more

The Game

In the Divisional Round of the AFC playoffs, the Kansas City Chiefs host the Jacksonville Jaguars on GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for 3:30 p.m. Arrowhead Time on Saturday. The game will be broadcast on NBC — locally on KSHB/41.

Kansas City entered the playoffs holding their seventh consecutive AFC West championship and the AFC’s No. 1 seed, earning a bye for the Wild Card round after finishing the regular season with a 14-3 record. The Jaguars — AFC South Champions at 9-8 — are the lowest-remaining seed following the Wild Card round, in which Jacksonville overcame a 27-0 second-quarter deficit to eliminate the Los Angeles Chargers 31-30.

Kansas City last met Jacksonville in Week 10, when the Chiefs earned a 27-17 home victory.

Widely thought to have earned the second NFL MVP award of his career with the Chiefs, 2022 All-Pro quarterback Patrick Mahomes finished the season leading the league in passing yards (5,250), touchdown passes (41), QBR (77.7) and touchdown percentage (6.3%). Adding 358 yards (and four touchdowns) on the ground and a six-yard pass reception (when he caught a pass batted back to him in Week 17 against the Denver Broncos), he also set an all-time record for total offensive yards by a quarterback (5,614).

After leading the league with 17 interceptions in his rookie season, Jacksonville quarterback Trevor Lawrence turned in a very good second season, completing 66.3% of his passes for 4,113 yards, 25 touchdowns and just eight interceptions, leading the Jaguars to their first division title (and playoff berth) since 2017.

Chiefs head coach Andy Reid and Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson — who was an assistant coach under Reid with the Philadelphia Eagles and was Kansas City’s offensive coordinator from 2013 through 2015 — are meeting in the postseason for the first time. In regular-season games, Pederson is 0-2 against Reid.
