Good evening, Addicts.
Coming off the high that was the first preseason game, our second left much to be desired. While I was still happy with having Chiefs football and knowing full well that these games don’t matter, a loss is a loss, and is almost never something I am okay with. However, it is just preseason, so bouncing back has been relatively easy, especially with the third preseason game coming up quickly.
Typically, the third game of the preseason is the one in which the starters get the most playing, and is considered the most “serious” of these non-important games. The coaches will unveil a little more of the playbook, and the team should start showing more chemistry and fluidity. With that in mind, I decided to take a look at the starters on both sides of the ball, and what should be expected out of them during the most profiled preseason game.
