The Kansas City Chiefs opened the 2025 season with a tough loss to the Los Angeles Chargers in São Paulo.. What made the defeat feel like a bigger stomach punch was just how many costly errors were made in the process.
Many of those mistakes were credited to right tackle Jawaan Taylor, who had four penalties—two false starts and two holding calls—in a 27–21 defeat. Following the game, Chiefs offensive coordinator Matt Nagy didn’t mince words when asked by team reporters about the miscues and Taylor's performance.
“Speaking to the obvious, the penalties, that can’t happen," said Nagy after Thursday's practice.
