We have finally had the long awaited opportunity to witness Andy Reid’s Chiefs on the field against an opposing team. Yes, it’s preseason, and often conclusions are drawn from preseason games too prematurely, but Kansas City looked especially good in the University of Phoenix Stadium against the Cardinals on Saturday night.
First and foremost, it was wonderful to see many faces return, including veterans Derrick Johnson, Mike DeVito and the heroic Eric Berry. After a poor opening drive, the Chiefs defense looked excellent throughout. Against Thomas, Sims and Stanton, the Cardinals depth quarterbacks, the Chiefs allowed only 146 yards passing.
