The Kansas City Chiefs didn’t look very sharp during Friday night’s 33-16 preseason loss to the Seattle Seahawks. But while the Seahawks rolled to victory on the backs of their dominant rushing performance — racking up 174 rushing yards in the first half and 268 overall — the Chiefs used the game to test its young players and evaluate their depth.
“It’s a great environment out here to see what you’ve got,” head coach Andy Reid told reporters during his postgame press conference. “A 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 ‘ones’ will get a little more time next week as we go forward on Thursday. But again, there are always some good things — [and] a lot of things we can learn — from here, too.”
