The Kansas City Chiefs lost by just a point in their season opener, but fans should take that with a grain of salt.

They were missing their two best players not named Patrick Mahomes.

All-Pros Travis Kelce and Chris Jones will be making their debuts Sunday.

Kelce, considered the best tight end in football, missed the opener against the Detroit Lions after he hyperextended his knee in a practice two days before the game. He tried to give it a go, but the Chiefs played it safe.

Twelve different Chief players caught passes in the opener, and Kadarius Toney had three key drops.

Jones missed all of training camp and Week 1 after holding out. Jones reached an agreement to have "multiple incentives" attached to the final year of his contract with the team, which are expected to have him "earn considerably more money this season," per ESPN’s Adam Schefter. 

Jones, who will hit free agency after this season, sat in a suite at Arrowhead Stadium during the game against the Lions.

Kelce hit everyone with an ultimate troll job Friday, grabbing the knee he injured while on the field. But then he broke into a twerk-like dance move.

The 34-year-old had not missed a game due to injury since his rookie season in 2013. He avoided any ligament damage but was reportedly dealing with a bone bruise and swelling. 

Kelce is coming off perhaps his best season in the NFL, his 10th in the league. 

He ended the season with 110 receptions for 1,338 yards and 12 touchdowns, all of which were career highs. He parlayed that into his second Super Bowl ring, scoring a touchdown against his brother's Eagles.

Jones is coming off a first-team All-Pro season for the first time in his career after previously being named second-team All-Pro three times and being selected to the Pro Bowl four straight seasons with Kansas City. 

The Chiefs take on the Jacksonville Jaguars at 1 p.m. Sunday.

Alex Murdaugh's motion for a new double murder trial over allegations of jury tampering is "defective," the South Carolina attorney general Alan Wilson charged Friday in his response.

Defense attorneys Dick Harpootlian and Jim Griffin allege in court papers that Colleton County Clerk Becky Hill told jurors not to believe Murdaugh's testimony and pressured them to reach a swift guilty verdict, so she could secure a book deal. 

Wilson argued in a four-page reply that the defense lawyers had filed a "procedurally defective" motion with the state's Court of Appeals because they didn't disclose when or how they learned of the damning allegations against the clerk.

The filing requests that the court give Murdaugh 10 days to correct the faulty motion. 

Murdaugh, 55, was sentenced in March to two life terms in prison for the murders of his 52-year-old wife, Maggie, and his son, Paul, 22, in June 2021.

He filed an appeal before the defense team tracked down three jurors who made the stunning claims.

They're asking the Court of Appeals to pause the appeal and kick the case back to the trial judge who will decide whether to overturn the verdict based on the alleged misconduct. 

Wilson wrote in the filing that their investigation has "revealed significant factual disputes" with the defense's accusations without specifying what they are.

In a significant concession, the prosecutor acknowledges that a hearing may be necessary to "properly resolve some of the serious claims" raised in the motion. 

"We are reviewing the filing and have no comment at this time," Griffin told Fox News Digital.

The defense has alleged that Hill, who wrote a memoir about the trial, "betrayed her oath of office for money and fame." Her attorney, Justin Bamberg, declined to comment. 

Fox Nation aired the hit docuseries "The Fall of the House of Murdaugh" earlier this month, which features interviews with Hill and Murdaugh's only surviving son, Buster.
