The Jacksonville Jaguars made their loudest statement of the season, stunning the Kansas City Chiefs 31–28 on Monday Night Football. It wasn’t just an upset, it was confirmation that Jacksonville belongs among the AFC contenders. Down 14–0 early, Trevor Lawrence led a furious comeback capped by a seven-play, 60-yard game-winning drive with just 23 seconds left. The Jaguars became the first team in four years to engineer a go-ahead touchdown drive in the final two minutes against Patrick Mahomes, improving to 4–1 and matching last year’s win total. Lawrence finished with 221 passing yards, 54 rushing yards, and three total touchdowns, including the game-winner. While his consistency remains a question, his confidence is clearly back. The Chiefs, meanwhile, fell to 2–3 after another special teams blunder from kicker Harrison Butker, a kickoff out of bounds that set up Jacksonville’s final drive. It’s been a rocky start for Kansas City, but Mahomes and Andy Reid aren’t out of the AFC West race just yet.
In Philadelphia, the Dodgers escaped with a nail-biting 4–3 win over the Phillies to seize a 2–0 series lead. Freddie Freeman’s diving scoop at first base on the final out preserved the victory, halting Philadelphia’s ninth-inning rally just short. Blake Snell held the Phillies hitless into the fifth and racked up 23 swing-and-misses before the Dodgers’ bullpen nearly unraveled. A Nick Castellanos double cut the deficit to one, but a failed bunt play and Freeman’s defensive gem sealed the game. Citizens Bank Park went from chaos to silence in seconds, the Phillies are now 1–5 in their last six home playoff games. As the series shifts to Los Angeles, they’ll turn to Ranger Suárez in Game 3 to keep their season alive.
