The way center Mitch Morse sees it, Thursday night was the kind of reality check the Chiefs’ offensive line needed.
The first string of linemen played only nine snaps in the 17-10 preseason loss to the Texans, but those nine snaps revealed plenty about the group tasked with protecting the Chiefs’ young quarterback this season.
Patrick Mahomes was hit on four of those snaps, including on the very first one.
“It’s definitely frustrating,” Morse said. “You are not going to come off of that and be OK with how it went. Sometimes you need a kick in the pants to rev it up, get out there and see what you need to work on.
