In the three total drives that the Kansas City Chiefs’ primary starters took the field in Saturday’s preseason game against the Chicago Bears, they dominated. They scored one touchdown, while forcing the Bears’ offense into two punts. The 14-0 halftime lead didn’t hold — but even in the 19-14 loss, the first-team Chiefs started the 2022 campaign on a strong note.

After one drive, quarterback Patrick Mahomes finished with 60 passing yards and a touchdown on 6/7 passing; a 142 passer rating.
