Chiefs Rookies Shine in Preseason Tie | Kansas City Chiefs News

The Chiefs and Seahawks ended preseason in a dramatic 9-9 tie, with the Seahawks missing a game-winning field goal as time expired. While the score was even, it was the rookies who stole the show—especially at QB and on the defensive line. Coach Andy Reid praised their reps and overall growth, highlighting standout performances like R Mason Thomas’s fumble recovery and Emmett Johnson’s 39-yard rushing effort on seven carries. Backs Brashard Smith and Emari Demercado added over 100 yards, while QB Garrett Nussmeier led a consistent offense. Defense shone too, with Marcus Harris making six tackles and three for loss. Thirteen players caught passes, showcasing depth. The Chiefs now face a critical roster cut to 53 by Sunday, but the preseason capped off a summer focused on avoiding last year’s slow start.
