Yeah, it doeesn't look good for JAX, when you re-examine the last game vs. the Chiefs. The only time they were remotely effective was when they played man against us, and JuJu went out early in that game, plus it was Toney's first game as a Chief and he only had maybe 15 snaps, only a handful of targets.
In zone, it was ridiculously easy for the Chiefs to move the ball. Almost everyone was open, consistently. The fumble and the INT took 10 or so points off the board to make it look a lot closer than it really was.
TBH, I think the only real chance JAX has, is if Pat just has one of those inexplicable horrific days. It could happen, it's really rare, but it could.
But if Mahomes comes out and plays just his average "I'm one of the best QBs in the world," kind of game (as opposed to the "I'm a God" kind of game), it's hard to believe that KC won't score 35+ points.
Then what does JAX do? They only average 24/gm; it's not very realistic to think they'll just explode for 40 points just because they're "battle tested," or they're "playing with house money," or whatever slogan every opposing team's fans have used since 2019.
And all season, with just a handful of exceptions, Spags defense has only allowed the opposing team right about their average in yards and scoring. Even with all the new faces and the three rookies in the secondary.
AGS, blahblahblah, but I wouldn't bet on it this weekend.
