With Henne, it was no Mahomes, no problem, though – at least for 1 drive. Henne led the Chiefs 98 yards to extend their lead over the Jacksonville Jaguars to 17-7. The drive was capped by Henne connecting with Chiefs TE Travis Kelce. Henne was 5-of-7 for 23 yards, his first passing yards of the Chiefs’ season.

The biggest play of the drive came from Isiah Pacheco. The former Rutgers running back tore off a 40-yard run to get the Chiefs deep in Jaguars territory.
