Andy Reid says Chiefs starters will play entire 1st half vs. Lions, but can we believe him?

Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid told the media Thursday about his ambitious plan for the team's second preseason game, which is against the Detroit Lions on Saturday.

"As far as the play time goes, the ones will take a half and then we'll kind of fill in after that and just kind of see how the rest of that goes for the third and fourth quarters," Reid said.

That would mean starters like Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce, two of the guys that make the Chiefs such an unstoppable force, would be playing a full 30 minutes of exhibition football, 19 days before they're scheduled to play their first regular season game.
