Chiefs defense puts NFL on notice with explosive preseason performance : kckingdom
The Kansas City Chiefs may have fallen in last night’s preseason loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. And it may have been the team’s eighth consecutive loss in such a game. In fact, the Chiefs have won a Super Bowl more recently than they have won a preseason game. So perhaps that’s all you need to know about the importance of these games on a grand scale….
Chiefs’ Mansoor Delane immediately makes presence felt in preseason after injury-plagued training camp : clutchpoints
Kader Kohou joined the Chiefs on a one-year, $1.8 million contract after spending four seasons with the Miami Dolphins. He was projected to serve as the team’s nickel cornerback, but has been passed on the depth chart and could be trade bait as the season approaches….
Garrett Nussmeier makes clear roster push in Chiefs second preseason action : kckingdom

That it was his third FG conversion of the night just further cemented the strong preseason he’s put together for the Chiefs…
Chiefs Facing Offensive Line Concerns After Rookie’s Preseason ‘Struggles’: heavy
That said, the Chiefs did come away from this game with one major concern: the presumed starter at right tackle. Kahlil Benson, a rookie undrafted free agent from Indiana, has been the story of Kansas City’s training camp, pushing veteran Jaylon Moore hard for the starting right tackle spot. In recent weeks, Benson absorbed almost all of the first-team reps at that position, while still working with the second unit at guard.
