The Kansas City Chiefs are once again the team to beat in the AFC, and they will face the up-and-coming Jacksonville Jaguars at Arrowhead Stadium tomorrow afternoon.
The Chiefs finished the season 14-3, and enjoyed the luxuries of a potential Patrick Mahomes MVP season, as well as the dominance of All-Pro tight end Travis Kelce. The Jaguars won the AFC South at 9-8, and rallied from a 27-0 deficit to defeat the Los Angeles Chargers in the Wild Card round last weekend.
These two teams met in the regular season, with the Chiefs winning comfortably but not convincingly 27-17. Jacksonville saw a resurgent second half of the season, winning seven of their last eight games behind the experience of new head coach Doug Pederson, and the talent of young star quarterback Trevor Lawrence.
The key difference between these two teams is the experience. The Chiefs have been one of the NFL's elite for five seasons now, while the Jaguars are a very young and inexperienced team with a lack of big game reps.
The winner of this AFC Divisonal playoff game will face the winner of the Buffalo Bills and Cincinnati Bengals game in the AFC championship next weekend.
Coverage of the Kansas City Chiefs and the Jacksonville Jaguars begins at 2 p.m. CT on the Mighty 690, with kickoff scheduled for 3:30.
