Final score: Chiefs fall to Jaguars 26-13 in preseason debut

The Kansas City Chiefs lost to the Jacksonville Jaguars in their preseason debut on Saturday night. The Chiefs scored 13 points in the game, falling well short of the 26 points that the Jaguars managed to put on the board.

Kansas City’s offense wasn’t able to hit its stride against Jacksonville’s stout defense after Patrick Mahomes came off the field in the first quarter, and a few special teams gaffes by the Chiefs ultimately cost the defending champions the game.

Though the results of this contest won’t count for anything once the regular season starts in September, there are sure to be a few bruised egos when Kansas City returns to practice at training camp this week.

Expect to see the Chiefs perfect their strategy for the NFL’s new “dynamic kickoffs” during workouts this week, and for Kansas City’s coaching staff to experiment with a few different personnel looks in their next game.
