The Chiefs made an early lead hold up for a 24-14 victory over the Washington Commanders on Saturday and quarterback Patrick Mahomes was impressive once again. He led two touchdown drives on the first two possessions, often directing passes to players who weren’t primary targets a year ago. Off-season work and a rigorous training camp seem to be paying off in the passing game.
On today’s SportsBeat KC, beat writers Herbie Teope and Jesse Newell, along with columnists Sam McDowell and Vahe Gregorian provide postgame analysis, including comments on a defense. The starters haven’t allowed a point in two preseason games.
You’ll also hear from tight end Jody Fortson, who scored a pair of touchdowns Saturday, and kicker Harrison Butker. In the game, Butker missed a 53 yard field goal. But in pregame warmups he made one from 74 yards. He explained earlier this week why a change in mechanics has give him more distance.
