Kansas City\u2019s head coach and backup quarterback were encouraged by some things they saw in Friday\u2019s loss.<\/p>\n

The Kansas City Chiefs didn\u2019t look very sharp during Friday night\u2019s 33-16 preseason loss to the Seattle Seahawks. But while the Seahawks rolled to victory on the backs of their dominant rushing performance \u2014 racking up 174 rushing yards in the first half and 268 overall \u2014 the Chiefs used the game to test its young players and evaluate their depth.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a great environment out here to see what you\u2019ve got,\u201d head coach Andy Reid told reporters during his postgame press conference. \u201cA lot of these guys are battling to make the team. We were able to get them in there so we can evaluate them. I thought [in] this game here, that was [the] most important. The \u2018ones\u2019 will get a little more time next week as we go forward on Thursday. But again, there are always some good things \u2014 [and] a lot of things we can learn \u2014 from here, too.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Quarterback Gardner Minshew was one of the few veterans to get extended action, leading two drives. His first ended in frustration when the Chiefs stalled on a fourth-and-one at the Seahawks\u2019 15-yard line, but he responded with a sharp second series capped by a 1-yard touchdown pass to tight end Robert Tonyan.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
