Returning home to Arrowhead stadium at 4-0 on the year, the Chiefs explosive offense faced their toughest test yet in the Jacksonville Jaguar defense.
The Kansas City Chiefs put up 45 points on the Jacksonville Jaguars in this week’s Madden ’19 simulation. How was Patrick Mahomes? Let’s just say it was show time. Mahomes threw for 325 yards and five touchdowns to the tune of a 75 percent completion rate. Most importantly, despite facing the best secondary in the NFL, Mahomes still kept a goose egg in the interception column.
Earlier in the week, Jaguars corner Jalen Ramsey took a shot at Tyreek Hill. He called Hill a “return specialist” belittling Hill’s play as a wide out. In this simulation, he made Ramsey pay. Hill hauled in 8-receptions for 97 yards and three touchdowns. Sammy Watkins caught nine passes and the other two touchdowns to go with his 84 yards.
Kareem Hunt continued his great week against the Broncos, and turned it into a better week against the Jaguars. Hunt ran for 101 yards, with eight broken tackles. Spencer Ware stole a would be Hunt touchdown when Ware ran it three yards into the end zone.
Travis Kelce, who had an off week to say the least against the Broncos, got back on track. The star tight end pluck four passes out of the air for 48 yards and no drops.
Defensively, the Chiefs leading tackler was Reggie Ragland who earned nine solo tackles. Anthony Hitchens was not far behind with seven solo tackles, and two tackles for a loss.
The Chiefs did not sack Blake Bortles once in this game, but did pick off the Jaguars signal caller twice. Armani Watts, a rookie out of Texas A&M got the first interception of the day, and Orlando Scandrick got the second.
The Chiefs beat the Jaguars 45-16, and improved to 5-0. They now travel to Foxborough to take on the Patriots who looked like they got back on track with a Thursday Night win over the Colts.
