WATCH: New Jaguars' DT Khalen Saunders intercepts Patrick Mahomes
Take a look as new Jacksonville Jaguars' defensive tackle Khalen Saunders comes away with an impressive interception off Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
The play occurred in Week 5 of last season. With the Chiefs at the Saints' two-yard line, Mahomes took the snap, faked the handoff, and looked for JuJu Smith-Schuster on an in-breaking route.
Broken up by the defensive back, the ball went off Smith-Schuster's hands, popped into the air, where Saunders was able to make the interception in the end zone. However, Saunders wasn't done there as he returned the ball past the Saints' 35-yard line.
"I was trying to get it home, man. Take it home. Them running back days flashed in my head," Saunders said, via the Associated Press. "I was like, 'That's 101 (yards). That's a little ways to go.' But I was trying to give us some real field position."
Listed at 324 pounds, Saunders got up to a top speed of 15.79 mph, according to NFL Next Gen Stats. This was the third fastest speed recorded by a ball carrier who weighs over 320 pounds.
Adding to this play is that Saunders is a former teammate of Mahomes, having spent his first four NFL seasons in Kansas City, which includes winning two Super Bowls.

Tyrann Mathieu, Derek Carr headline YouTube's Week 1 NFL broadcast team
It hasn't taken long for Tyrann Mathieu to find a new gig in the media after announcing his retirement. The former New Orleans Saints safety is working as a studio analyst for YouTube, which is broadcasting this year's season-opening Friday night game between the Kansas City Chiefs and Los Angeles Chargers in Brazil. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. CT on Friday, Sept. 5. Back in Los Angeles, YouTube will be featuring Mathieu among several other retired NFL players as studio analysts on the pregame show an hour before kickoff, which has a surprising number of connections to the black and gold. One of the studio analysts will be recently-retired quarterback Derek Carr. The two former Saints captains will be joined by longtime Saints rival Cam Newton, wide receiver Brandon Marshall (who spent a month on their roster after Dez Bryant's injury in 2018), with noted Saints fan Kay Adams hosting the panel alongside YouTube fantasy football analyst Peter Overzet. The pregame show will be broadcast on the NFL's official YouTube page. So we'll be tuning in to see what they all have to say. A number of former Saints players are busy working in the media these days, ranging from Roman Harper and Benjamin Watson (on the SEC Network) to Mark Ingram II and Jonathan Vilma (on Fox Sports) and Drew Brees (who will call a game for Netflix in this year's three-game Christmas Day slate), among others.

2025 NFL MVP Favorites
2025 NFL MVP Favorites originally appeared on The Spun. (Editor's note: This article is from The Spun by Athlon Sports' 2025 Football Betting Guide — the perfect preseason reference companion for new bettors or sharps alike. Order your copy today online, or pick one up at retail racks and newsstands nationwide.) In sports betting, there is a fine line between reckless and savvy longshot wagers. The NFL MVP award has crystallized this concept over the past decade, forcing oddsmakers to evolve and leaving foolish bettors throwing good money after bad bets. The saga began in 2018, when Patrick Mahomes took the league by storm in his first full season as the Kansas City Chiefs' starting quarterback. The overnight sensation won the MVP, after having odds in the neighborhood of 100/1 the previous summer. Sure enough, the very next season Lamar Jackson did the exact same thing for the Baltimore Ravens. He, too, began the year with 100/1 odds and ultimately hoisted the award. This outlier two-year stretch disrupted what had become a predictable trend of established quarterbacks. However, normalcy was promptly restored, as Aaron Rodgers then went back-to-back for his third and fourth MVPs in Green Bay. But some bettors are still hoping to catch lightning in a similar bottle this season. DraftKings head oddsmaker Johnny Avello has seen significant action on Justin Fields of the New York Jets (200/1) and Shedeur Sanders of the Cleveland Browns (150/1). 'This is all early money and speculation. It's guys with high odds and people taking a shot,' Avello said. 'They're only taking prices that will be long gone if guys start out well.' I would classify those as reckless wagers and 'dead money'. Now, I might have said the same thing in 2018 and 2019 about the eventual winners, but at least the industry has evolved since then, forming a tighter market. Oddsmakers have learned a great deal about creating odds for awards, which is very different from generating odds for actual games. 'I used to not like it but it's been really good because the odds have become much more sophisticated than they were in the beginning,' said SuperBook VP of Risk Management Ed Salmons, a veteran NFL oddsmaker. 'Just following it for the past eight years, it's easier to do now and it's a staple out there. It's definitely something we book every year, and for the most part, we do pretty well with it.' Essentially, oddsmakers have learned from their mistakes with Mahomes and Jackson. No longer will sportsbooks offer such long odds for a quarterback of a potentially high-powered offense. By comparison, QBs with longshot odds entering the 2025 season include Brock Purdy (25/1), Jared Goff (31/1), and Trevor Lawrence (40/1). The usual suspects are the betting favorites with Jackson leading the way with consensus +500 odds. Reigning MVP Josh Allen, Joe Burrow and Mahomes are right behind at +600, while Jayden Daniels (+850) has entered the mix in just his second season. The shortest odds for any non-quarterback is Saquon Barkley with consensus 50/1 odds. He was a finalist last season with 2,005 rushing yards, the eighth-most in NFL history, but ultimately a quarterback won the MVP for the 12th straight year. Salmons firmly believes a quarterback will win MVP for the rest of time, given how pass-happy the NFL has become over the years. 'All leagues have gravitated toward the same stuff. A kicker (Mark Moseley) won in 1982. Can you imagine a kicker winning MVP right now?' 2025 Preseason NFL MVP Odds Here are the most recent NFL MVP odds from bet365 (editor's note: these odds are updated from odds that appear in the magazine): Lamar Jackson +500 Josh Allen +550 Joe Burrow +600 Patrick Mahomes +650 Jayden Daniels +850 Jalen Hurts +1800 Justin Herbert +1800 Jordan Love +2200 C.J. Stroud +2500 Baker Mayfield +2500 Brock Purdy +2800 Caleb Williams +3300 Jared Goff +3300 Dak Prescott +3500 Matthew Stafford +3500 Kyler Murray +4000 Trevor Lawrence +4500 Bo Nix +5000 Drake Maye +5000 Aaron Rodgers +6000 2025 NFL MVP Favorites first appeared on The Spun on Aug 19, 2025 This story was originally reported by The Spun on Aug 19, 2025, where it first appeared.
