"The Super Bowl win is in the past, we're just focused on this season, " said Patrick Mahomes, QB of the Kansas City Chiefs after the first training camp practice. The Chiefs played the Lions on Thursday night. Click ‘Read More’ to find out how they fared in the game.
The Chiefs were home and every Chiefs fan knows what that means. The game was loud because the Chiefs have the loudest NFL stadium in the league. This game was a thrilling game to watch. There were a lot of miscues by the Chiefs resulting in the Lions winning 21- 20. Tight-end Travis Kelce didn’t play and was out with a hyperextended knee. Also, Chris Jones was in a suite watching the game unfold. Kadarius Toney had three drops, one of which resulted in a pick 6 by the Lions.
The Kansas City Chiefs need to pay the players that deserve to be paid. It’s not enough just to pay Patrick Mahomes but they need to focus on the organization and give Patrick Mahomes the help he needs. Thankfully after a full game with no pass rush they re-signed Chris Jones. Now I would say they need to find an actual #1 receiver to pair with Mahomes and Kelce.
The Detroit Lions on the other hand had an overall complete team. Jared Goff had amazing accuracy throwing for 253 yards and 1 passing touchdown. Aiden Hutchinson looked like a beast out there, always causing trouble for the Chief's offense rushing and hurrying Patrick Mahomes all game, he racked up 3 tackles and 1 assist. Amon St. Brown was scorching defenders all game he ended up with 71 yards and a touchdown. David Montgomery also had 21 carries, 74 yards, and 1 touchdown.
Although the Chiefs didn’t look completely horrible in the opener, it’s clear that in their current state they need a bit of help to defend their title. How do you think the Chiefs will fare in their second against the Jacksonville Jaguars? Let me know in the comments below.
