After four preseason possessions, the Chiefs’ first-string offense was finally there.
To the red zone, less than 20 yards away from the starters scoring their first points of the preseason.
They had four chances to get the ball across the goal line early in the second quarter of Friday night’s 28-14 win against the Falcons, and for a moment, it looked like it would only take two plays.
Quarterback Patrick Mahomes hit running back Kareem Hunt with a short pass on the left just over the goal line. But the score was wiped out when officials noticed right tackle Mitchell Schwartz lined up off the line, and threw their flags for illegal formation.
