Christian Kirk is the first Jacksonville Jaguar to find the end zone Saturday in Kansas City.
The Jaguars had Kirk line up in the backfield to create a favorable matchup on 2nd-and-9 from the Chiefs’ 10-yard line.
With a successful extra point, Kirk’s TD catch had things tied between the Jaguars-Chiefs at 7-7 in the 1st quarter. Kansas City has retaken the lead 10-7 off of a Harrison Butker 50-yard field goal early in the 2nd quarter.
Kirk, a former Texas A&M standout, is in his 5th professional season. The 2022 season, Kirk’s first in Jacksonville, was a career year. In regular-season play, Kirk logged 84 catches for 1,108 yards and 8 touchdowns. In Jacksonville’s Super Wild Card Weekend win over the Los Angeles Chargers, Kirk had 8 receptions for 78 yards and a TD.
Kirk so far has 2 catches for 17 yards in the first half. The game is airing on NBC.
