Chiefs at Bengals week 2 preseason:

August 19, 2017-

The Chiefs' offense will look to get going against the Bengals. The Chiefs are at the bottom of the league when it comes to offense this preseason. Luckily for the Chiefs, the Bengals are near the bottom in defense as well. Hopefully we can see more from this team as many of the position battles are open but no one looked to separate themselves last week.




KC wins on a rainy game. This week they were on the other end of a blow out as Chiefs won 27-3. It was 7-3 at half as Cincy broke the tie to take a 3-0 lead. It was all KC after that as Alex Smith scored a rushing TD to make it a 7-3 lead. In the 4th the Chiefs opened up by scoring 3 touchdowns. Cincinnati only had 173 yards (46 rushing, 127 passing) as the Chiefs defense played lights out forcing 1 interception. The Chiefs looked great. They had the ball for 15 more minutes then the Bengals. 338 total offense (164 rushing, 174 passing). This is the type of game that the Chiefs will need come regular season.

Chiefs at Seahawks game 3 of Preseason:

August 25, 2017-

To start things off we report a signing. K Roberto Aguayo has agreed to an 1yr/ 940k deal with the Chiefs this has sparked some debate as Santos has been been 1/3 FG and 3/4 extra points this preseason. Aguayo comes in after being cut by the Bucs. This will be one of many battles to keep an eye on as it's reported that the QB's and RBs will share first team reps tonight. It will be interesting how the offense battles will take place against a good Seahawks defense.





Seattle's defense is too strong. Seattle wins 33-12. There was a lot to come from this game as turnovers are the Achilles heel of this team. 5 turnovers with 3 being in the red zone. Chiefs gained about 80 more yards than the Seahawks did. Time of Possession only favored Seattle by 2min. KC had 340 yards (98 rushing, 242 passing) compared to Seattle 264 yards (138 rushing, 126 passing). The QB play had to go to Patrick Mahomes as he made rookie mistakes but at times he looked like an all pro. Rushing Charcandrick West looked good but he continues to struggle holding on to the ball. This will be interesting how game 4 plays out.

Seattle

QB Russell Wilson 12/20 107 yards, 1 INT, 53.5 rating

QB Austin Davis 2/2 19 yards, 1 TD, 145.8 rating
