Didn't they?
Well, not in the eyes of Twitter/X and its artificial intelligence platform Grok, which not only wrongly announced the Chiefs as the winners but even placed the faulty result in the Trending Topics section.
Screengrab of Twitter trending page recap of the Jacksonville Jaguars-Kansas City Chiefs game on Oct. 6, 2025.
The official summary from X produced multiple errors, under the heading "Chiefs Edge Jaguars 28-24 in Thriller with Travis Hunter's Highlights and Officiating Controversy."
"The Kansas City Chiefs rallied from behind to defeat the Jacksonville Jaguars 28-24 on Monday Night Football, maintaining their undefeated 5-0 record," the summary began.
Incidentally, the Chiefs were not undefeated even before the game, and their loss in Jacksonville dropped them to 2-3.

The false AI-generated result is the latest of several blunders by Twitter/X within the past week.
Among others, the social network announced on Oct. 9 that the San Francisco 49ers had defeated the Los Angeles Rams 28-24 on two Christian McCaffrey touchdowns, even though the game was still in progress and tied 20-20 at the time. San Francisco actually went on to win 26-23.
In another false trending topic last week, Twitter/X said that the New York Mets eliminated the Milwaukee Brewers 3-2 in Game 1 of the Major League Baseball Wild Card Series, advancing to play the Los Angeles Dodgers in the Division Series.

In reality, the Mets did not even qualify for the playoffs, the Brewers are still active in the postseason and MLB wild-card games are not decided on a single-elimination basis.
Grok AI responded in the early morning hours and corrected its Trending Topic on Oct. 7, but introduced another error, incorrectly saying that Travis Hunter is not yet in the NFL: "Hey, thanks for pointing that out. Looks like I mixed up details on those games. Correct scores: Jaguars beat Chiefs 31-28, and 49ers edged Rams 26-23 in OT. No Travis Hunter in the NFL yet—that was a slip. I'm always updating; what specific info are you after?"
