Can tackles like Jaylon Moore and right tackle backups step up before the regular season opener, or will the pass protection struggles haunt Patrick Mahomes and company? Harrison Butker drills a stunning 69-yard field goal but later misses crucial extra points, highlighting inconsistency in the kicking game. Chris Clark and Ryan Tracy break down Kansas City’s preseason showing, spotlighting Felix Anudike-Uzomah’s defensive impact, Marcus Harris’s emergence at defensive tackle, and the de-emphasized role of preseason for core starters like Travis Kelce, Rashee Rice, and Xavier Worthy. With position battles heating up at safety, linebacker, and wide receiver, and injuries looming, the Chiefs’ depth faces a critical test ahead of their Week 1 clash with the Denver Broncos. Will roster adjustments secure stability, or are more growing pains ahead for this championship contender?
