When I installed a beta version of the Substack app last week, I was struck by the effort the company is making to get you to use its app by default. “There’s a place you can go that’s not like a giant slot machine, trying to appeal to your worst self,” Best said, “but instead is a place where you go to spend time with the people you’ve chosen to spend time with, and that you think make your life better.” The team also wanted to enable features that simply aren’t possible in email: background podcast listening video embeds comment threads updated in real time. The app was built by a team nostalgic for the halcyon days of Google Reader, he said, with its hand-curated feeds and limited social features. “We’ve kind of wanted to do this forever,” Chris Best, Substack’s co-founder and CEO, told me in a recent interview. As of last week, there is a third place: an iOS app that allows you read everyone you subscribe to on the platform - as well as any other RSS feeds you care to add - in a dedicated spot on your phone or tablet. Platformer, from which this post is republished, is hosted on Substack see my ethics disclosure.)įor the company’s first five years, writers using Substack have published in two places: on the web and via email. Certainly one of the plays of the game.September 20, 2021Let’s talk about Substack’s new reading app, and the moment in the life of a young tech company when its ambitions grow from niche service provider to a giant global platform.
Mahomes skillfully led Kansas City 77 yards on 10 plays to seal the deal, and that drive was kept alive with this third-down conversion to Moore. Up eight points with 4:18 to burn in the fourth quarter, the Chiefs offense took the field. There were at least three plays were Zay Jones or Ridley just couldn't get their feet down for six points. Even when the Jags got into the red zone, they couldn't find the end zone. The Jaguars went 3 of 12 on third downs and struggled to move the ball all game long. However, the offense fell flat on Sunday. After all, Jacksonville has a prospective franchise quarterback, a young shifty running back and plenty of weapons all led by a Super Bowl-winning offensive mind. The question for the Jags entering 2023 was if the defense could be good enough and not let down the offense. These were the fewest points scored in a win for the Chiefs since Week 9 in 2021. It wasn't the sexiest win, but 1-1 is a lot better than 0-2. The Jags recorded just 271 yards of total offense. The front seven stuffed the run while the secondary held Ridley in check. Third downs were a death sentence for Jacksonville's offense, the Jags went 0 for 2 on fourth downs and didn't get into the end zone once. The Chiefs came out of the locker room in the third quarter and immediately marched 81 yards down the field on seven plays while Kelce scored his first touchdown of the year.Īdditionally, the Chiefs defense stood out. The Chiefs proved to be the better team in the second half, and the improved play was good to see considering how ugly the first half was. There's plenty to break down from this game. Calvin Ridley, on the other hand, caught just two passes for 32 yards. Christian Kirk was the star wideout for the Jags, as he caught 11 passes for 110 yards. Trevor Lawrence completed 22-of-41 passes for 216 yards, while Travis Etienne rushed for 40 yards on 12 carries. Jacksonville didn't score a touchdown, went 3 of 12 on third downs and a back-breaking 0 for 3 in the red zone. Kadarius Toney, who really struggled with drops in the opener, finished with 35 yards after catching all five targets.įor the Jaguars, they struggled with efficiency on offense. Skyy Moore bounced back from his nightmare-ish Week 1, and led Kansas City with 70 receiving yards and a touchdown on three catches. Isiah Pacheco rushed 12 times for 70 yards, while Kelce caught four passes for 26 yards and a touchdown.
Patrick Mahomes tied a career high by completing passes to 11 different receivers, and finished with 305 passing yards, two touchdowns and an interception. Kansas City also turned the ball over three times in the first half, but overcame that sloppy start to gut out a victory. The Chiefs were penalized 12 times for 94 yards, and right tackle Jawaan Taylor accounted for five of those penalties. This was not a very clean win for Kansas City. Jones recorded 1.5 sacks, while Travis Kelce caught a touchdown. Star defensive tackle Chris Jones and tight end Travis Kelce made their 2023 debuts in this matchup, and both made considerable impacts.
The Kansas City Chiefs rebounded from their disappointing season-opening loss as they defeated the Jacksonville Jaguars 17-9 in Week 2.
