Chiefs’ poor discipline lead Jets to wild win

Josh McCown scored on a 1-yard quarterback sneak with 2:15 left, and the New York Jets bounced back from a brutal start to hold on for a wild and wacky 38-31 win over the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday.

Chandler Catanzaro kicked a 21-yard field goal to put the Jets (5-7) ahead with 3:55 left. But Kansas City’s Bennie Logan was called for a personal foul for hitting long snapper Thomas Hennessy on the play. That gave the Jets the ball at the 1 with a new set of downs.

After two running plays, McCown threw incomplete — but Steven Nelson was penalized for defensive holding, making it firstand-goal from the 2. Three plays later, McCown kept the ball and shoved his way into the end zone.

McCown’s pass on the 2-point conversion was incomplete, but Nelson was called for holding.

An enraged Marcus Peters picked up the penalty flag and tossed it away, drawing an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty. Elijah McGuire ran it in moments later to convert the 2-point play and make it 38-31.

McCown finished with 331 yards passing and a touchdown to Matt Forte, and ran for two scores — including the winner. Jermaine Kearse had nine catches for 157 yards and Robby Anderson caught eight passes for 107 yards as the Jets dominated in time of possession, but still had to hold their breath in the end.

After Tyreek Hill’s 40yard catch put the ball at the Jets 23, Smith completed a 4-yard pass to Travis Kelce, who had two early touchdowns. But Smith was then incomplete on three straight passes.

The loss by the Chiefs (66) ruined the return of cornerback Darrelle Revis, who made his debut with Kansas City after signing a twoyear deal last week. Revis, who played eight years over two stints with the Jets, started for the Chiefs, but spent the second half on the sideline.

Kansas City has dropped six of its last seven after opening the season 5-0. Meanwhile, New York kept its faint playoff hopes alive by snapping a two-game

skid and holding on to a fourth-quarter lead. The Jets had blown leads in the fourth quarter of three of their last four losses.

Hill had put the Chiefs ahead 31-30 on a 40-yard touchdown catch. The drive was helped by a personal foul penalty on the Jets’ ArDarius Stewart on the kickoff.

Smith finished with 366 yards passing, with four TD tosses, two to Hill, who had six receptions for 185 yards.

After Harrison Butker’s 36-yard field goal gave the Chiefs a 17-14 lead, McCown led the Jets to a goahead 11-yard touchdown pass to Matt Forte. Catanzaro’s 27-yarder late in the third quarter put New York ahead 24-17, capping an 18play,

72-yard drive that took 9 minutes, 31 seconds to open the second half.

But the Chiefs struck back on their next play from scrimmage, Smith finding Hill, who zipped past Rashard Robinson in coverage, for a 79-yard touchdown to tie the game.

Catanzaro booted a 47-yarder on New York’s next possession. He added a 38-yarder early in the fourth quarter to make it 30-24.

STARTING FAST

Smith and the Chiefs got things going early, marching 75 yards on five plays — capping the drive with a 22yard touchdown catch by a wide-open Kelce 2:38 into the game.
