THIS WEEK: The Jacksonville Jaguars will make their first trip to Kansas City's Arrowhead Stadium to face the Chiefs at 7:00 p.m. CDT (8:00 p.m. EDT) Saturday in their second and final road game of the 1998 preseason. The Jaguars are coming off a 24-10 victory over the New York Giants last Friday in their preseason home opener at ALLTEL Stadium and are 1-1 in the preseason, while the Chiefs are 1-2 after losing at Minnesota last Saturday 34-0.

It will be only the second meeting - and first in the preseason - between the two teams that met during the 1997 season, with Jacksonville winning 24-10.

Last season the Jaguars finished 11-5 and became NFL's only expansion team to make the playoffs twice in their first three seasons. They qualified for the playoffs as a Wild-Card team (losing the AFC Central Division championship to Pittsburgh on the fifth tiebreaker), but lost to the eventual Super Bowl champion Denver Broncos in a Wild-Card playoff game. The Chiefs went 13-3 and won the AFC Western Division before losing to Denver in a divisional playoff game a week after the Broncos eliminated the Jaguars.

TELEVISION BROADCAST: The game will be televised locally by WTLV Channel 12. Dan Hicken will call the play-by-play and Mike Golic will add analysis.

RADIO BROADCAST: All of the Jaguars' games are broadcast on WOKV (690 AM), WBWL (600 AM) and WKQL (96.9 FM) and the Jaguars Radio Network. Brian Sexton will call the play-by-play and former NFL quarterback Matt Robinson will add analysis. Sexton and Robinson are in their fourth season together. Robinson, Jennifer Kumik, Vic Ketchman, and Cole Pepper handle the pre-game show, and Pepper and ex-Oakland Raider Pete Banaszak do the post-game show. A total of 21 affiliates in four states on the Jaguars Radio Network will also broadcast the game.

THE OPPONENT: The Chiefs were an original member of the American Football League, beginning play in 1960 as the Dallas Texans. Owned by Lamar Hunt, the founder of the AFL, the team won the 1962 AFL Championship, then moved to Kansas City in 1963. They won the 1966 AFL title and played in the first Super Bowl, and they won their first Super Bowl in 1969, defeating Minnesota. The Chiefs finished out of the playoffs for 14 straight seasons from 1972 to '85, but they qualified for postseason play ever year from 1990 to '95. In 1996, the Chiefs finished 9-7 and lost out on a playoff tiebreaker to the Jaguars, and in 1997, their loss to Jacksonville was one of only three in the regular season. The Chiefs' 55-25 record from 1993 to '97 is the best mark in the AFC. They are coached by Marty Schottenheimer, who ranks second among active coaches and 12th all-time in victories.

THE SERIES: The Jaguars and Chiefs have played only once, with Jacksonville winning 24-10 on November 9, 1997 at ALLTEL Stadium. The two teams will play again on September 13 in the Jaguars' regular-season home opener at ALLTEL Stadium.

THE LAST TIME: The Jaguars defeated Kansas City 24-10 at ALLTEL Stadium for their 11th straight victory at home. Mark Brunell threw a touchdown pass to Pete Mitchell, and Natrone Means and James Stewart combined for 116 yards rushing and two touchdowns to lead the Jacksonville win. The Jaguars led 24-3 at halftime and then forced five Kansas City turnovers in the second half. Even though the Chiefs won the statistical battles (424 to 332 in yards, 23 to 16 in first downs and 36:14 to 23:46 in time of possession), they got their only score on a fumble return by Danan Hughes after Jacksonville's Chris Hudson made an interception and then fumbled the ball. The Jaguars sacked Chiefs quarterback Rich Gannon six times to set a team record (since tied).

A JAGUARS VICTORY OVER THE CHIEFS WOULD: Improve their preseason record 2-1 and be their eighth victory in their last nine preseason games dating back to 1996.

INJURY UPDATE: Nine players missed last week's game against the New York Giants: CB Deon Figures (knee), S Chris Hudson (thumb), LB Tyrone Hines (knee), C Michael Cheever (hip pointer and back), G/OT Jeff Novak (leg contusion), G/OT Todd Fordham (ankle), DT Don Davey (knee), DT Kelvin Pritchett (hyperextended elbow) and LB Bryce Paup (groin). In addition, three players suffered injuries in the game: LB James Hamilton (broken tibia), WR Jermaine Ross (broken arm) and DE Tony Brackens (ankle). The status of all injured players will be updated during the week.

THE COACHES: Jacksonville head coach Tom Coughlin has led the Jaguars to the playoffs each of the last two seasons, a first for an NFL expansion team. In 1997, the Jaguars finished 11-5 and lost the AFC Central Division championship on the fifth tiebreaker to Pittsburgh. The Jaguars were defeated by Denver in the Wild-Card playoffs. In their second season in 1996, the Jaguars advanced all the way to the AFC Championship game, finishing the regular season in second place in the division with a 9-7 record. In the playoffs, the Jaguars upset the Bills and Broncos on the road before losing at New England. In 1995, Coughlin's Jaguars finished with four victories in their inaugural season. He became head coach of the Jaguars on February 21, 1994 following three successful seasons as head coach at Boston College. Coughlin compiled a record of 21-13-1 from 1991 to '93 at Boston College, and had two appearances in bowl games and a ranking of 13th in the final AP poll of 1993. A veteran of 27 years of coaching, he was previously an NFL assistant coach with the New York Giants (wide receivers, 1988-90), Green Bay Packers (wide receivers and passing game coordinator 1986-87) and Philadelphia Eagles (wide receivers, 1984-85). He has a record of 24-24 during the regular season and 2-2 in the postseason. Coughlin's preseason mark is 9-6.

In 13 full seasons as a head coach (nine with Kansas City), Marty Schottenheimer has never had a losing season, and last season he directed the Chiefs to an NFL-best 13-3 mark and their third AFC West title in the last five seasons. His overall record is 143-87-1 (including playoffs). During that span, he won two AFC Western Division titles with Kansas City and three AFC Central Division titles with Cleveland. After leading the Browns to a 12-4 record and second consecutive division crown, Schottenheimer earned AFC Coach of the Year honors in 1986. He joined the Browns in 1980 as defensive coordinator and was named head coach midway through the 1984 season. He was linebackers coach (1975-76) and defensive coordinator (1977) for the Giants. He coached Lions linebackers in 1978-79. He was an assistant with the Portland Storm of the WFL (1974). Schottenheimer has a record of 138-76-1 in the regular season and 5-11 in postseason.

Jacksonville held the Giants to 174 yards on offense, while the Jaguars rushed for 219 yards and had 347 total yards. New York was only 1 for 13 on third down conversions and managed just seven first downs in the game.

Mark Brunell played the first quarter and connected with Jimmy Smith on a five-yard touchdown pass, as the Jaguars jumped out to a quick lead and held the Giants to 15 yards and no first downs in the first quarter. Tavian Banks reversed field and ran for a 59-yard touchdown run in the third quarter, and Alvis Whitted caught a 31-yard TD pass from Jonathan Quinn in the fourth quarter. Banks ran for 81 yards on six carries, and James Stewart added 70 yards on nine rushes for the Jaguars.

NOTES FROM THE GIANTS GAME: The game was delayed exactly one hour because of lightning and rain. … All 74 Jaguars players who suited up saw playing time, whereas the Giants did not play six players who dressed. … The Jaguars had two takeaways and one turnover in the game. … Jacksonville was one yard short of doubling New York's total offense (347 to 174), and had 20 first downs to New York's seven and time of possession lead (35:54 to 24:06). … If the game had been played in the regular season, the Jaguars would have set the following records: longest run from scrimmage and longest TD run: Banks, 59 yards (the record is 35 yards by Natrone Means on 10/6/96 at New Orleans); most yards rushing: 219 (the record is 179 on 9/29/96 vs. Carolina); fewest yards allowed: 174 (record: 187 on 9/1/96 vs. Pittsburgh); fewest first first downs allowed: 7 (record: 10 on 9/3/95 vs. Houston and 10/13/96 vs. New York Jets); and most sacks: 7 (the record is 6 on 11/9/97 vs. Kansas City and 12/21/97 at Oakland).

Mark Brunell completed 5 of 8 passes for 65 yards, in playing two series and two plays. Steve Matthews was 4 of 12 for 35 yards, and rookie Jonathan Quinn was 4 of 10 for 55 yards and one TD. Jamie Martin played the last three series but did not throw a pass. … First-round pick Fred Taylor rushed a team-high 13 times for 35 yards. … Jimmy Smith had three receptions for 40 yards and a score, while Taylor and Keenan McCardell each had two catches. … Bryan Barker punted six times for a 43.0-yard average, a long of 52 and two kicks inside the 20 … Mike Hollis made one field goal in three attempts and three extra points. For the preseason, Hollis is 3 for 5 on field goals and 6 for 6 on extra points. … The Jaguars made seven sacks, two each by Lamanzer Williams and Jose White, and one by Jabbar Threats, Harry Deliagianis and Joe Smeenge. … CB Aaron Beasley led the team with 7 tackles (4 solo), and DT Seth Payne and LB Eddie Robinson each had 5 tackles. … Jaguars captains were WR Keenan McCardell, MLB Bryan Schwartz, CB Dave Thomas and P Bryan Barker.

FROM COACH TOM COUGHLIN ON THE GIANTS GAME: "I saw a lot of good things. We talked about improvement being the key going from week one to week two, and the defense played very well. We did some outstanding things throughout the game. The attitude playing at home, in front of our crowd, I thought we were physical. We had a lot of people play and a lot of people made plays. Our defense played well tonight, got on top of circumstances, played better coverage and got better pressure on the quarterback. The Giants' offense didn't hit for big plays like the Panthers a week ago, but I would have to say that was because of the play of our people defensively. It was a good effort on the part of our defense."
(on the field goal units) "I was very disappointed on our field goal teams. Our snaps aren't good, our holds aren't good. We have to get better at that. The confidence is not as good as it has to be. We have some work to do in that area."
(on Tavian Banks) "Everyone wants to talk about Tavian Banks and his outstanding speed and his outstanding return, as well as the reverse field run for the touchdown, and they were very good football plays, without a doubt."

FROM QB MARK BRUNELL: "Two weeks in a row we've been able to move the ball on the ground, and that's good for us. That's been a focus of ours in the preseason, and we've got to keep that going. It's critical for us to have a running game this year. James Stewart is running with a lot of confidence right now. He's a leader at his position, and he's doing a great job. I've been real impressed. He's had his best training camp by far."

FROM RB JAMES STEWART: (on rushing for 70 yards in the first quarter) "You don't expect to go out and gain that kind of yardage in a quarter, but you go out and work hard. That's what it's all about. When you have opportunities, you have to take them."
(on rookie Tavian Banks): "What can you say? He is the type of guy who can break it at any time, and I think we all got a good look at that tonight."

FROM RB TAVIAN BANKS: "The first game I was kind of lost. There was a lot of speed out there. But this week I calmed down and I know what's going on with the offense."

THE QUINN-TO-WHITTED CONNECTION: Jaguars rookies Jonathan Quinn and Alvis Whitted have hooked up for fourth-quarter touchdown passes in each of the team's first two preseason games. Quinn is a third-round draft choice out of Middle Tennessee State and was the fourth quarterback selected in the draft, and Whitted, who was the team's first of two choices in the seventh round, was a two-time All-America in track at North Carolina State who has competed against Michael Johnson and Carl Lewis and is proving to be a fine football player as well.

In the first preseason game at Carolina, Quinn and Whitted connected on a 36-yard TD pass, and last Friday against the Giants, the Quinn-Whitted combo scored on a 31-yard pass.

In two games, Quinn has completed 8 of 17 passes for 116 yards and two scores, while Whitted has caught two passes for 67 yards and two TDs.

NEW FACES: Here's a quick look at the Jaguars' five new veteran players who are on the 1998 training camp roster:

LB Bryce Paup -The only unrestricted free agent signed by the Jaguars in the offseason, Paup will start at strongside linebacker, moving Kevin Hardy to the weakside. A nine-year veteran, Paup has played in the last four Pro Bowls and has 65.5 career sacks, ranking 37th in NFL history. Paup has not played in the first two preseason games because of a groin injury.
C Quentin Neujahr -Signed as a restricted free agent from the Baltimore Ravens, Neujahr has seen plenty of action because of Michael Cheever's hip pointer and back injury. A four-year veteran, he can also snap for placekicks and play guard. Neujahr has started the Jaguars' first two preseason games.
QB Jamie Martin -Martin has played in the NFL since 1993, when he signed with the Los Angeles Rams as an undrafted rookie. He played in six games in 1996, completing 23 of 34 passes for 241 yards, 3 TDs and 2 interceptions. He spent last season with St. Louis and Washington and now is fighting for a backup job with the Jaguars. Martin led the Jaguars to a touchdown and a field goal in the preseason opener at Carolina while completing all six of his passes.
DT Ed Philion -A three-year veteran who was cut by the Carolina Panthers in the 1997 training camp, Philion is competing for a role at defensive tackle. He played for Buffalo in 1994 and '95 and with Carolina in '96. Philion saw backup action in the first two preseason games.
WR Jermaine Ross -Another three-year veteran, Ross has 19 receptions for 233 yards and one TD since signing with the Los Angeles Rams in 1994. He spent all of 1995 on injured reserve. Ross is looking to fill a backup role at wide receiver. He caught two passes in the first preseason game at Carolina, but he suffered a broken arm last week against the Giants and is expected to miss 5-6 weeks.

A LOOK BACK AT THE 1997 SEASON: The Jaguars set a number of team firsts in 1997, their third season. Here's a recap:
