Notes:  Derrick Johnson grabbed an interception and ran 15 yards for a game-changing, momentum-shifting touchdown.  Johnson's play put the Kansas City Chiefs on the road to a 45-20 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars and a quarterback who proved a lot more savvy than most people thought.

 

Late in the fourth quarter, Bouman threw another interception that led to another TD. But the Chiefs came away impressed with Bouman, who was signed off the street by the Jaguars after their two top quarterbacks went down with injuries on Monday night.

 

Bowman was 18 of 34 for 222 yards with two interceptions and his first two regular-season touchdown passes since 2005 for the Jaguars (3-4).  But with a little over five minutes left in the third, Johnson stepped in front of Bouman's pass and the Chiefs (4-2) outscored the Jaguars 21-0 from that point on.

 

The Chiefs, the league's top rushing attack, ran for 236 yards and Matt Cassel threw two touchdown passes to Dwayne Bowe.

 

Bowe had two touchdown catches for the second week in a row. Thomas Jones had 125 yards and one TD on 20 carries, including a 70-yard run following a Jacksonville turnover.  Bowe caught a 6-yard TD pass in the fourth quarter and gave the Chiefs a 21-13 lead on the second play of the second half when he caught a 53-yard scoring pass.

 

The Chiefs have scored 30 or more points in three games for first time since 2006.
