NFL Reveals Disciplinary Action for Chiefs Star Ahead of Lions Matchup
The Kansas City Chiefs experienced both a significant loss and player disciplinary action following their Week 5 showdown against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Despite holding an early lead, the Chiefs succumbed to a 31-28 defeat, marking their third loss in five games.
Chiefs vs. Jaguars Recap
The Chiefs initially maintained a two-touchdown advantage but were overtaken by the Jaguars by the end of the third quarter. With a score of 21-14 against them, Kansas City’s defense conceded a decisive touchdown drive orchestrated by Jaguars’ quarterback Trevor Lawrence. Lawrence, overcoming a stumble caused by his lineman’s misstep, dashed left to secure the game-winning touchdown with a 1-yard run.
NFL Disciplinary Action
Amidst the game’s outcome, additional complications arose for the Chiefs. Wide receiver Marquise “Hollywood” Brown incurred a $12,172 fine from the NFL. The penalty addressed Brown’s actions during an on-field altercation with Jaguars cornerback Jourdan Lewis. Following a heated exchange, Brown’s response led to a 15-yard unnecessary roughness penalty. The fine surfaced ahead of the Chiefs’ upcoming matchup with the Detroit Lions at Arrowhead Stadium.
