Jaguars Far from Perfect in MNF Win Over Chiefs

Jaguars' defense knows it has to be better

The Jacksonville Jaguars did enough on both sides of the ball to get a critical 31-28 win over the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 5. However, outside of Devin Lloyd's incredible takeaway, Patrick Mahomes and KC's offense were able to get practically anything they wanted in Duval.

Not only did the Chiefs' quarterback have a great game, with 378 total yards and two touchdowns to one interception on 70.7 percent passing, but the Jaguars allowed over six yards per carry to Isiah Pacheco and Kareem Hunt, who came into the night as one of the worst running back rooms in the league. Defensive Coordinator Anthony Campanile spoke on whether he thought his unit felt they didn't play up to their standard:

"100 percent. I'm of the same mindset. I think there's a lot that we can do better. I think we've played better than we did, and credit to the Chiefs, they did a great job as well, but we have a high standard for our play style and our level of execution, and I think that could have been better the other night. And I’m pointing the thumb on that, not the finger. I think I’ve got to do a better job overall, and we're fired up about getting another opportunity to play a great team this Sunday. So, excited for it."

Jacksonville didn't have Travon Walker available for that game, and his absence was palpable. They also just swapped out Tyson Campbell, who's given up several big plays to opposing receivers this year, for Greg Newsome II. Between those two coming in and the Jaguars' defense getting punched in the mouth last game, they could be out for blood against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 6.
