Chiefs-Cardinals Instabreakdown: Mahomes has off-night; starting defense dominates

In 2021’s second preseason game, the first-team offense and defense got an entire half’s worth of work; the offense only scored three points, while the defense didn’t allow a first down to the Cardinals’ starting offense. A receiving touchdown by Jerick McKinnon highlighted the second half.

The Chiefs’ starting offense got plenty of playing time on Friday night. Mahomes and the starting offensive line played together for 33 plays across three drives; two 15-play possessions with a three-and-out in between. Even with Henne under center on the fourth and fifth possessions, the first-team offensive line still manned their spots.
