The Kansas City Chiefs suffered another setback in their Monday Night loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Head coach Andy Reid quickly processed the defeat, but not before sending a two-word message about rival quarterback Trevor Lawrence.
For the Chiefs, being powered by their potent offense and the leadership of Patrick Mahomes doesn’t seem to be enough. Their inconsistent streak has left Reid’s team struggling to find a foundation of results that reaffirms their AFC contention.
The Chiefs’ offensive output appeared to dominate much of the game, but a last-minute Lawrence touchdown flipped the score and sparked celebrations in Jacksonville. In contrast, Reid showed respect for his opponent.
Reid’s two-word message for Lawrence
Reid responded with two words when asked about Lawrence. “A competitor,” said the Chiefs’ coach. His statement reflects admiration for the Jaguars quarterback’s ability to play through to the end in pursuit of victory against Kansas City.

The Jaguars’ big moment
Lawrence has played a major role in Jacksonville’s strong start, as the team sits at 4-1. The Jaguars have managed to move past a disastrous season last year, which included the resignation of head coach Doug Pederson, now replaced by Liam Coen.
