Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said his starters would get extended run in the second exhibition matchup, and Mahomes led two drives: An eight-play, 61-yard drive that ended with a Harrison Butker 33-yard field goal, and a 12-play, 51-yard drive that was capped by a 37-yard field goal.
Mahomes finished the day having completed 8 of 14 passes for 93 yards, including this impressive 39-yard toss to first-round pick Xavier Worthy:
