The Kansas City Chiefs will escape their Week 2 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars with a win after quarterback Patrick Mahomes hit receiver Skyy Moore for a 54-yard gain late in the fourth quarter.
The play came right before the two-minute warning on a third and manageable that Kansas City needed to convert to put the game on ice. Mahomes rolled out to his right and found Moore deep downfield on a pretty pass that was easy for the second-year receiver to adjust to near the sideline.

Moore’s ability after the catch was on full display after he reeled the ball in, and despite being stopped before the goal line, his effort to get downfield was laudable. The big gain set the Chiefs up close to the Jaguars’ end zone at the 12-yard line. Kansas City would pick up a first down after the two-minute warning and come out in victory formation to officially clinch their first win of the 2023 regular season.
