More struggles for Chiefs, this time in loss to Jaguars
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — The Jacksonville Jaguars had a fast start and another frantic finish.
Byron Leftwich threw two touchdown passes, including a 14-yarder to Cortez Hankton with 45 seconds to play, to lift the Jaguars to a 22-16 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs yesterday.
Leftwich also ran for a score as the Jaguars (4-2) snapped a two-game losing streak and won in the final minute for the fourth time this season.
Kansas City (1-4) took a 16-14 lead on an amazing touchdown pass from Trent Green to Priest Holmes with about five minutes remaining, but Lawrence Tynes missed the extra point. He also missed a 41-yard field goal with 2:16 to play.
The Jags got the ball back and drove 67 yards in 1:31 to go ahead for good.
Leftwich looked great on the winning drive. He completed his final five passes for 55 yards. He capped the drive with a fade pass that Hankton hauled in for his second touchdown in as many weeks.
Hankton beat Dexter McCleon for the score. Reggie Williams then outjumped McCleon for the 2-point conversion.
Lefwit completed 24 of 56 passes for 298 yards.
Kansas City had one final chance, but Green's pass near the goal line was intercepted as time expired. He finished 25-of-33 for 315 yards and threw two touchdown passes, but he also was sacked six times. Holmes had 75 yards rushing.
The Chiefs looked like they had the victory sealed when Green — with defensive linemen Rob Meier and Greg Favors draped around his legs flipped a pass to Holmes just before his knees hit the ground. Holmes cut across the field, picked up a big block from Tony Gonzalez, and scored.
The Jaguars challenged the play, but officials ruled Green released the ball before either knee was down.
Tynes' extra point attempt hit the right upright.
Jacksonville stalled on the ensuing drive and failed to convert on fourth-and-1 from its 33. The Chiefs thought they could seal the victory with Tynes' field goal, but it sailed wide right.
The Jags capitalized on the mistakes.
They also made the most of a fast start.
Jacksonville scored in the first quarter for the first time this season. They opened the game with four wide receivers, and Lefwich in the shotgun.
eight of the first 10 plays and completed two big third-down passes, including a perfectly thrown one to Jimmy Smith for 30 vards down the sideline.
Leftwich capped the 13-play, 75-yard drive with a 7-yard TD run. The Jags were 4-for-4 on third down and scored a touchdown on their opening drive for the first time since December 2002.
After Tynes' 31-yard field goal made it 7-3, Jacksonville answered with a quick strike. Leftwicheth to Fred Taylor in the flat. Taylor turned up in field. ran past Jerome Woods and sprinted down the sideline for a 64-yard touchdown.
McCleon had a shot at tackling Taylor inside the 10 but missed.
He dropped back to pass on
The finish was the latest heart-stopper in a season filled with them for the Jaguars.
Leftwich connected with rookie Ernest Wilford for a 7-yard score as time expired to give the Jaguars a 13-10 victory over Buffalo in the season opener.
Denver running back Quentin Griffin fumbled a handoff on the 23-yard line with about 30 seconds to play, allowing the Jaguars to escape with a 7-6 victory the following week.
