Patrick Mahomes's Chiefs fall short against the Saints

The Kansas City Chiefs, reigning Super Bowl champions, kicked off their preseason with a matchup against the New Orleans Saints. Both teams saw their starting quarterbacks, Patrick Mahomes and Derek Carr, take the field for a portion of the game.

Mahomes' appearance was limited to just one series, resulting in modest statistics.

“I like to have at least one or two drives under my belt to say that I’m ready to go [and] we’re doing the right things. Coach Reid, he allows me to do that.”

However, some fans expressed discontent and foresaw a decline in the Chiefs' future achievements, attributing it to the team's early shortfall.
