After imperfect starts from Kansas City’s first-team offense and defense, the reserve units played well and came out with a three-point win. Wide receiver Byron Pringle and quarterback Shane Buechele scored the only Chiefs touchdowns; the defense brought down the opposing quarterback for five sacks.
Offense
The Patrick Mahomes-led first-team offense did nothing eventful tonight. Running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire saw a big running lane created by his new offensive line on the first play from scrimmage — taking it for 10 yards and a new set of downs. A short pass to tight end Travis Kelce set up a third-and-four, but a contested short pass to wide receiver Mecole Hardman fell incomplete to end the drive.
