He added that it was also \u201ca positive\u201d that they were able to play everybody healthy enough to suit up for the Friday night outing.<\/p>\n<p>New KC Star beat reporter Pete Sweeney (formerly Arrowhead Pride) took to X to share the fantastic news.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA very good night for the Chiefs,\u201d he posted. \u201cThe top two units looked good, no new injuries \u2014 and exactly 14 days from the opener for those mending injuries to get right.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In other words, Kansas City is in perfect shape to begin another Super Bowl quest come Week 1. And better yet, Mahomes and the offense looked dialed in on August 22.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Patrick Mahomes, Chiefs First-Team Offense Show Off Massive Potential in Final Preseason Game vs. Bears<\/h2>\n<p>It wasn\u2019t just a night where the Chiefs\u2019 offense appeared to be trending in the right direction. Mahomes and KC came out firing like they were in midseason form.<\/p>\n<p>Sure, there were a few misses early on, but it didn\u2019t stop the two-time NFL MVP from connecting on 8-of-13 for 143 passing yards and 1 touchdown (first touchdown drive ended in an Isiah Pacheco run).<\/p>\n<p>Of course, if you watched the game, you\u2019re probably well aware that Mahomes\u2019 top highlight of the night came on a 58-yard deep ball to Tyquan Thornton \u2014 who appeared to solidify his roster spot, if it wasn\u2019t already solidified.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf we do that, it opens up the rest of the offense, and everybody can get going,\u201d Mahomes said after the game, regarding the deep gainer.<\/p>\n<p>Otherwise, in typical Mahomes fashion, the Chiefs QB spread the ball around to players like Rashee Rice (2 catches, touchdown), Travis Kelce (2 catches), JuJu Smith-Schuster (19-yard first down), Xavier Worthy (1 catch), rookie running back Brashard Smith (catch inside red zone) and more.<\/p>\n<p>Most importantly, he looked very comfortable behind pretty steady blocking from the offensive line.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Andy Reid Says Chiefs\u2019 First-Team Offensive Line \u2018Gave Pat Time\u2019<\/h2>\n<p>Perhaps the No. 1 takeaway from this game is that the Chiefs\u2019 offensive line looked new and improved in the pass protection department.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWithout looking at the tape, I thought the O-Line did a nice job and gave Pat time,\u201d Reid noted.<\/p>\n<p>Adding: \u201cWe were efficient in the run game. Receivers and tight ends caught the ball. Pat looked smooth, confident, and had trust in the group. It was a smooth operation tonight.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That all starts with the blocking unit, as Mahomes pointed out.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s clich\u00e9, but it starts up front,\u201d the Chiefs QB voiced. \u201cWhen the guys are blocking like that, it gets the offense going.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Whether it was Trey Smith absolutely demolishing a pass rusher (see above) or recent draft picks Josh Simmons and Kingsley Suamataia looking like seasoned veterans, this KC offensive line looked night and day from the past couple of years.<\/p>\n<p>Needless to say, if Mahomes has time to throw, watch out. Reid said it best; the OL \u201cgave Pat time,\u201d and he delivered.<\/p>\n<p>Michael Obermuller covers the NFL for Heavy Sports, where he began writing in 2021.
