Yeah this is some real ugly play. Multiple unforced fumbles in just a few minutes.
Chiefs get ball back on a lateral that was first ruled a forward pass
And almost fumble it away on first play

I think that's now 4 unforced fumbles (and a 5th that was forced) in less than 20 minutes in the KC/JAX game.
Kalce can't be 100% and the rest of the receivers are worse than anything on the Pats.
I just turned on redzone and saw the tackle, did he react in any way? Or did the spotters actually just do their job?
Gonna be a lot of that this year. People will make excuses for him for a couple of weeks, but as we enter midseason and he's nowhere near the top of the leaderboard in anything, people will stop giving him the benefit of the doubt.
Like fine, try to trick a guy if you wanna. But what’s with his hurdling fetish?
With Gardner Minshew II in, it’s a nice time to remind people that there is not Gardner Minshew I, his dad just thought it looked cool to add the II

Are you suggesting that Wikipedia is wrong?
wiki:
Minshew was named after his father, Gardner Flint Minshew, a fact that most fans and sportswriters did not initially realize because the elder Minshew is often referred to by his middle name.[126][127] He goes by "Minshew II" rather than "Minshew Jr." at his mother's request, as she did not want her son to be nicknamed "Junior" or "Bubba".[128] His grandfather originally wanted Minshew to be named Beowulf, after the Old English hero, but his parents rejected the idea.[14]
I’m suggesting that I heard that once and thought it was funny so I made the decision to just believe it and not fact check
Ian Eagle and team looking pretty dopey there. 3rd down play for JAX, the receiver makes the catch and basically sits down, looking like he's lying across the line to gain. The announcers spend the next 2 minutes talking about how dumb it was not to stretch forward, and what JAX can do if it's 4th and short, not even allowing for the possibility that he got the 1st down....and when it's measured, it turns out it was just enough for the first. GJGE.
Man this game is sloppy. The ball is coated in butter or something.

Yeah this game is making me angry. How the fuck do you whip out a trick play with a really big risk factor, and you complete the pass for a loss of a yard? Just terrible.
Teams keep playing the Chiefs as if they'll need 38+ to win even when their offense is dogshit.
I usually love the GFI, but you’ve got to punt up 3-0 with 4 minutes left in the half. It’s a field position game.
Edit: what @rodderick said.

After some research it was apparently a rumor based on his dad going by his middle name, and the fact that it’s II and not Jr. at the end. Apparently his parents thought if he were a Jr people would call him Junior which they didn’t want
