Kansas City Chiefs Form
Kansas City head out on the road looking to bounce back from a shock season-opening defeat.
The defending Super Bowl champion Chiefs came into the season with their sights set on winning back-to-back crowns.
However, their first outing did not go to plan as they suffered a 21-20 home loss to the Detroit Lions.
Kansas City went into that game without two key players in Chris Jones and Travis Kelce, and very little went right for them.
The Chiefs offense struggled as Patrick Mahomes was let down by his receivers and offensive co-ordinator Matt Nagy made some questionable play calls.
Jacksonville Jaguars Form
Jacksonville go into their home opener with a 1-0 record and with the aim of sending a message to the rest of the league.
The Jaguars enjoyed a superb first season under Doug Pederson as they overcame a rough first eight weeks to win seven of their final nine games to make the playoffs.
They then staged an incredible fightback to beat the Los Angeles Chargers, before losing to Kansas City in the Divisional Round.
Jacksonville’s run made them a team to watch this season, and they got off to a solid start last weekend.
The Jaguars put up 14 unanswered points in the fourth quarter as they came from four points down to win 31-21 in Indianapolis.
