Patrick Mahomes will have a little more time to get comfortable at Atlanta’s Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Friday.
Coach Andy Reid said Mahomes and the other Chiefs starters will play for the entire first half of the second preseason game, while the second string will take over in the third quarter. The third string is expected to play the fourth.
In the first preseason game, the first-string offense got just nine snaps in one quarter of work, and Mahomes never really seemed settled as the offensive line struggled to maintain his protection.
This time around, he’ll have more room to get into a groove.
