Chiefs vs. Jets live updates: Kansas City looks to snap two-game losing streak
The turnover gave New York a field goal and renewed questions about Kansas City’s short-yardage offense after criticism from a 28-24 loss to Denver.
- On Sunday at Arrowhead Stadium, the Kansas City Chiefs deployed backup quarterback Justin Fields for a sneak on third-and-1, but the play ended in a fumble recovered by the New York Jets at the 34-yard line.
- After a 28-24 loss to the Denver Broncos, the Chiefs attempted the play to address widespread criticism, ending their long-standing avoidance of quarterback sneaks since Patrick Mahomes suffered a knee injury in 2019.

- For head coach Andy Reid, the team's short-yardage offense remains a persistent challenge; finding a reliable solution that protects Mahomes without making play-calling predictable continues to elude the defending champions.
