Tonight the Jacksonville Jaguars host the Kansas City Chiefs on Monday Night Football. The game is scheduled to kickoff at 8:15 p.m. EDT.
The Jaguars come into this game with a 3-1 record. One of the main factors in their early success has been their ability to turn the ball over on defense. The Jaguars lead the NFL with a whopping 13 defensive turnovers. That combined with four offensive turnovers gives them a stellar +9 turnover differential. The Jaguars have won the turnover battle in every game they have played this season. As long as they keep doing that, the Jaguars will be tough to beat.
The Chiefs come into this game with a 2-2 record. That puts them in the unaccustomed position of third place in the AFC West. The Chiefs have turned the ball over just once all season on offense. That sets up a classic matchup between the Jaguars, #1 team in the NFL in defensive turnovers, and the Chiefs, the #2 team in the NFL in offensive turnovers. Something’s gotta give here. Whichever team wins the turnover battle will likely win the game.
It’s the Jaguars and the Chiefs tonight on Monday Night Football. Enjoy the game everyone.
