Stuff gonna happen at Noon
Yeah. Thought we may very easily lose with Foles; managed to underwhelm my very low expectations. Made me think it was Cassel or Brady Quinn out there. I am a bit worried Kelce could get suspended against Carolina in a week we could really use him.and btw Travis Kelce blowing his cool and getting tossed out only made things worse. we're lucky we didn't lose this one...

Second-year center Mitch Morse continues to improve
After a poor start to the season, Chiefs’ center Mitch Morse has improved significantly the past couple of weeks. He recorded his fourth perfect game in pass protection in a row, and topped his season-high run-blocking grade with a 78.9 mark. Morse is well-suited to the Chiefs’ diversity of running concepts, with his ability to block both in-line and on the move. In the middle of a unit still ironing out some issues, Morse’s development could be key.
Top defensive grades:
LB Ramik Wilson, 93.1
CB Steven Nelson, 86.8
ED Dee Ford, 84.9
DI Jaye Howard, 81.9
DI Chris Jones, 80.4
Kansas City defense able to put Bortles under pressure
While Jacksonville made several unforced mistakes, the Chiefs were responsible for numerous miscues of the Jaguars. Edge defender Dee Ford had an excellent day, as he was in the backfield on almost every dropback of Bortles. Ford finished the game with two sacks, two quarterback hits, and four quarterback hurries, while edge defender Tamba Hali also recorded five total pressures. However, it was actually second-year inside linebacker Ramik Wilson who had a career day and caused the most damage to the Jacksonville offense. Wilson read Bortles’ eyes really well to pick off the Jacksonville quarterback in the first half, but his biggest play came in the second half when he knocked the ball out of running back Chris Ivory’s hand on the goal line to prevent a Jaguars’ touchdown.
