Preseason Noise or Real Signs? | Kansas City News

Chiefs’ eighth straight preseason loss? Don’t panic—history proves it means nothing. The real story’s in the individual performances: Jaden Hicks, Marcus Harris, and Emmett Johnson shined, while Harrison Butker’s mixed field goals kept fans on edge. Rookie Jalen Royals dominated with six catches for 51 yards, Felix Anudike-Uzomah delivered his first sack and led the pass rush, and R Mason Thomas kept pressuring the QB. But Kahlil Benson and Melvin Smith struggled badly, and Jared Wiley’s drop and lackluster blocking raised red flags. With cuts looming, these games are make-or-break—Royals and Anudike-Uzomah are climbing the roster ladder, while Benson and Smith may be headed for the chopping block.
