Backup quarterback Chad Henne, who played just 18 snaps during the regular season, took over and helped the Chiefs take a 17-10 lead into halftime.
Jaguars kicker hit a Riley Patterson converted a 41-yard field goal with 27 seconds remaining in the half to cut the Kansas City lead to 17-10.
Lawrence completed 10 of 15 passes for 80 yards and a touchdown in the half. Kirk had five catches for 43 yards and a score. For the Chiefs, Kelce had 10 catches at the half for 55 yards and two touchdowns and Pacheco had seven carries for 78 yards. The Chiefs are looking to advance to a fifth straight AFC Championship, having lost last season to the Cincinnati Bengals to deny their third straight Super Bowl appearance. If the Chiefs hold on to win and the Buffalo Bills defeated the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday, the AFC Championship would be played at the neutral site of Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta. If the Bengals upset the Bills, it would set up a rematch of last year's AFC title game in Kansas City.
The Jaguars, which were founded in 1995, have reached the AFC Championship three times, most recently in 2017 against the New England Patriots. They are one of 12 teams to have never won a Super Bowl.
