Except for major injuries there is nothing that can happen in the first preseason game to change an NFL team's course, but with this particular Chiefs team in this particular season they are going to have to address something.
Two years after Clark Hunt brought up Derrick Thomas' name in describing Dee Ford, the Chiefs need their young pass rusher to produce.
The Chiefs lost to the Seahawks 17-16 in front of a lot of empty seats on Saturday, an appropriate audience for what amounts to an expensive scrimmage, and Kansas City's best roster in years showed plenty of positives.
