Welcome to the first game day of the 2018 season!
Sort of.
The Kansas City Chiefs host the Houston Texans in their first preseason game at Arrowhead Stadium Thursday night at 7:30 p.m. Arrowhead Time. The game marks the first time that Patrick Mahomes takes the Arrowhead Stadium field as the Chiefs’ starting quarterback. Andy Reid has said Mahomes will get a quarter, and in that quarter, we’ll be looking for more touchdowns than turnovers.
An important subplot that developed late this week is how the Chiefs plan to replace starting safety Daniel Sorensen, who will miss regular-season time after surgery.
