Trevor Lawrence escaped pressure and sprinted for the go-ahead TD as Jacksonville beat Kansas City 31-28, improving to 4-1. The Chiefs’ late surge stalled, highlighted by Mahomes’ controversial turnover that Devin Lloyd turned into a 99-yard TD.

Chris Jones drew scrutiny for a nonchalant late sequence as the defense failed to finish, while Devin Lloyd’s big play and Jacksonville’s resilience defined the night. The result intensifies KC’s defensive concerns and fuels Jaguars’ momentum in fantasy circles.

Chiefs' one-score magic fades in 2025: KC sits 0-3 in tight games after an 11-0 run in 2024, with losses to the Chargers, Eagles and Jaguars. Mahomes and Reid still push a high-powered offense, but late-game execution has slipped, reshaping fantasy projections and betting angles.

Jacksonville’s rally in Week 5 capped a historic stumble—KC led by two scores yet fell 31-28, snapping a 23-game run of wins when ahead late. The drift from mystique to mechanics urges sharper risk assessment for Chiefs assets and their upcoming matchups.

Devin Lloyd sparked Jacksonville's comeback with a 99-yard interception return that flipped the game against Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs, helping the Jaguars to a 31-28 win.

The play fed a defensive surge and landed as Lloyd earned September Defensive Player of the Month, signaling a rising fantasy ceiling for the Jaguars' linebackers.

For fantasy managers, Lloyd's breakout heightens LB2/IDP value and keeps Jacksonville's defense in play in tougher upcoming matchups.
