Jacksonville Jaguars vs. Kansas City Chiefs: Halftime Thoughts

The Jacksonville Jaguars are entering halftime with a 20-10 lead over the Kansas City Chiefs in Saturday's preseason opener.

So, what did we see during the first half of Jaguars vs. Chiefs? We break it down below.

Brian Thomas Jr. shows his value

The biggest play from the Jaguars' first half -- other than Parker Washington's giant kickoff return -- was Brian Thomas Jr.'s 41-yard catch downfield. Despite an underthrow from C.J. Beathard, Thomas Jr. was able to throttle down and bring in the catch against tight coverage, drawing a giant reaction from the Jaguars' sideline. Thomas had the corner beat, too, and maybe would have scored a touchdown with a better throw.

For context, this huge play came right after Thomas struggled with press coverage on an out-breaking route on the previous throw. These two plays summed up what we have seen from Thomas in camp and likely what his role and value will be this year. He is still growing in many areas of his game, but he will be able to stretch the field right away.
