Next up on the preseason schedule are the defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs. And to make things more interesting than your typical preseason bout, Chiefs coach Andy Reid has stated that his starters, including quarterback Patrick Mahomes, will play the entire first half of Saturday’s game.
For the Detroit Lions, this will provide the coaching staff with a unique opportunity to get a good look at a lot of players they are attempting to evaluate against one of the best teams in the NFL. And while it is still unclear how many starters the Lions will have suit up against Kansas City (don’t expect many), there will be plenty to watch from a Lions’ fan perspective—regardless of who is dressed for the Honolulu blue.
