He said last week that there remains a lot of competition among the defensive players like linebackers and cornerbacks as it relates to special teams. “On top of that, you have to learn how to be in sync and in rhythm with the o-line on making sure you’re executing the proper footwork because your spacing has to equate to what they’re doing. “The thing he has to understand is that you got to rely on the o-line to work for you as well,” Bieniemy explained. Preseason Week 3 could be an opportunity for him to take some steps forward within the offense. Both players who can land on the 53-man roster and the practice squad. It was a rookie mistake and one that appeared to frustrate Patrick Mahomes, who saw the missed opportunity unfold. Historically speaking, when the final week of the preseason rolls around, the coordinators and Andy Reid begin working on game preparations for Week 1. With injuries to these players, it’s imperative that the Chiefs have some guys waiting in the wings who can step up and make big plays on offense. At offensive tackle, Geron Christian and Prince Tega Wanogho look to be locked in a battle for reserve tackle spots on the 53-man roster. With starting and depth jobs still up for grabs, the stakes have never been higher for the players on the roster. Fleet-Davis was able to impress with a touchdown run last week, but can Jones do anything at this point to earn himself a roster spot with the Chiefs? As of Tuesday, Chiefs HC Andy Reid hadn’t decided whether Patrick Mahomes or the starters on either side of the ball would play in the preseason finale.

And on the Chiefs Radio Network, where Dawson flourished in a second career as a Hall of Fame broadcaster, stories of Dawson flowed during a lengthy pregame tribute. He was the leader of the team. “Of course, as a child, all the players were huge and he was one of the smaller ones of the group.

The coverage units allowed a 45-yard kickoff return, plus two punt returns of at least 20 yards. That showed a lot of maturity from him." We'll see (on the film) how they held up in pass pro." Abernathy added a tackle on special teams. "Early on there wasn't really a lot open for him and he was under some duress," LaFleur said. Love said he wishes he'd thrown the ball to Mack's back-shoulder or taken a shorter throw to keep moving the chains. "Both those guys did a nice job. "We had some timeouts right there, so that's a situation I can learn from," Love said. Unfortunately, he also muffed a kickoff return.

The Chiefs will kick off the 2022 regular season with a road game against the Cardinals on Sept. The Packers will open up the regular season with a divisional matchup in Minnesota against the Vikings. Rodgers contributed to the cause with 39 yards on four receptions to go with 17 yards on three carries that included an 11-yard pickup. He started the second half with a pair of completions to Amari Rodgers before completing just one of his final three passes of the night. Patrick Mahomes didn't take a snap, but he briefly took the field to honor Dawson, who led the Chiefs to the franchise's first Super Bowl win at the end of the 1969 season. A sleepy first quarter gave way to an exciting (for preseason standards) second quarter. Following his first touchdown pass to Bushman, Buechele took advantage of Corey Coleman's 45-yard kickoff to start the second half. McDuffie ended the Packers' first drive after making an open field tackle on a third-down play. Green Bay's offense did mount two scoring drives during the second quarter, taking a brief lead on Tyler Goodson's nifty 24-yard touchdown run two minutes into the second quarter. They teamed up for two touchdowns: a 54-yard catch and run in the second quarter and a two-yard throw that served as the only score during the third quarter. In a possible Super Bowl preview, the Chiefs and Packers closed out their respective preseasons on Thursday night. Love and the Packers' offense struggled to move the ball against the Chiefs' starting defense, which didn't allow a point when they were on the field during the 2022 preseason.

Here are some of the things we're taking away from the Kansas City Chiefs' preseason Week 3 finale against the Green Bay Packers.

He was just coming back off of where he tweaked his knee and then he landed on it and you can kind of see the way it was. Chiefs GM Brett Veach joined Trent Green and Ari Wolfe in the Len Dawson Broadcast Booth to discuss a few things early on during the game. The performance begs the question of whether the Chiefs will keep three quarterbacks on the 53-man roster or try and find a trade partner for Buechele. He played the majority of the game taking the second, third and playing into the fourth quarter against the Packers. It seems like every year there’s a play that gets stashed by the team on injured reserve following the final preseason game. He scored the team’s only two touchdowns of the game, both on passes to TE Matt Bushman. [One of the biggest concerns for the Chiefs](https://chiefswire.usatoday.com/lists/kansas-city-chiefs-main-concerns-through-preseason-week-2-run-game-tackle-depth/) through the first two games of the 2022 NFL preseason was the run game. We got the run game going a little bit, which we needed to do coming off the last two games. “I thought the same thing there,” Reid said of Pacheco. Ronald Jones, who had five carries for four yards entering preseason Week 3, had the best game of his Chiefs tenure. The starters on both sides of the ball didn’t get much action if any action at all in this game, which fans were pleased about given the nature of preseason games. This time it was those depth players who were behind the winning effort, scoring multiple touchdowns as opposed to trying to simply hang onto a lead.

The Kansas City Chiefs won against the Green Bay Packers on Thursday, but paying tribute to legendary QB Len Dawson was their biggest win of the preseason.

The immediate impact of losing Dawson was felt at all levels of the team. I’m going to try and do my best to get more flags up there and try to win a few more Super Bowls.” “Yeah, that was (Chiefs Chairman and CEO) Clark’s (Hunt) suggestion," Reid said. And I looked up to him so much as the leader of those great Chiefs teams. The team took numerous measures to pay homage to Dawson before, during and after Thursday night's game, and it was obvious that the loss of the Hall of Famer still weighs heavy on just about everyone involved with the franchise. Throughout the 2022 campaign, the Chiefs will wear a No.

[Len Dawson died](https://www.kshb.com/sports/legendary-chiefs-quarterback-len-dawson-dies-at-87), the Kansas City Chiefs paid tribute to the franchise’s first Super Bowl MVP during the preseason finale at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium. "There are only a certain amount of quarterbacks who get to win Super Bowls," Mahomes said. "Len kind of set the standard here in Kansas City, and I’m thankful enough to be able to go up there and win one. [@Chiefs] honored Len Dawson with a moment of silence before the preseason finale. "He always had advice for me on how to embrace this community because it’s such a great community."

The Kansas City Chiefs just wrapped up their 2022 preseason and although wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster has been nursing a knee injury as of late, ...

At the time of signing, Smith-Schuster's contract was a one-year pact for $3.25 million and contained up to $7.5M more in a loaded unorthodox incentives package. And, of course, there's no guarantee that all of the incentives are practically likely, but for a hotly recruited free agent to agree to a deal that's more than two-thirds incentives, it seems likely that the Chiefs got at least somewhat creative, helping them save a considerable amount of cap space in 2022. Nice touch by the Chiefs to give him a chance for more upside.

The Kansas City Chiefs have reworked WR JuJu Smith-Schuster's contract, adding an additional $30K in per-game roster bonuses.

It’s good to see that the organization is continually thinking about ways to reward its players, even after a contract has been agreed upon. If he misses time due to his sore knee or otherwise, he’ll at least now have a chance to earn what he would have initially made prior to the amended contract, so long as he plays at least half the season. According to ESPN reporter Field Yates, the Chiefs have amended Smith-Schuster’s contract to increase his per-game roster bonus from $30K to $60K.

The Kansas City Chiefs wrapped up the preseason with a victory on Thursday night, defeating the Green Bay Packers, 17-10, behind strong outings from several ...

"The players completely bought into it and wanted to do it," Reid added. We wanted to do something – a little token – to show our appreciation, and I'm glad that we got to do it out here at GEHA Field at Arrowhead." Following final roster cuts, the Chiefs will set their sights on a trip to Arizona for the regular-season opener on Sept. Defensive end Joshua Kaindoh and cornerback Dicaprio Bootle were also both responsible for a pair of big plays defensively, as each player recorded a sack in the second half. I thought, all in all, [we] got a good evaluation of the young players." Bushman finished the game with three receptions for 73 yards prior to leaving with a shoulder injury.

Kansas City gets a win in its final 2022 preseason games. Let's tally up the winners and losers.

While he has all of the physical tools, it appears that it might take a while for him to put it all together. In the preseason, Carter has been working with the second and third teams, playing late in the games. He also fumbled, but was at least able to recover the ball. His 54-yard catch and run was one of the most explosive plays of the entire preseason. He’s not had the strongest preseason, looking a step slower than the other linebackers on the field. But in the second drive against the Packers, Jones took the first handoff and broke off a punishing eight-yard run. This time, it was Bushman who took advantage of each of his three targets to amass 73 yards, leading the team. But in two preseason games, Jones just hadn’t found any success with the Chiefs. If they think he’ll clear waivers, the Chiefs will be happy to sign him to the practice squad, Otherwise, they might just have to carry a third passer on Tuesday’s initial 53-man roster. Then most of the key starters on offense got the night off — while backups found some success in their final showcase before roster decisions are decided and many bags are packed. Shane Buechele: There isn’t a backup quarterback competition in Kansas City — but if there were, Buechele’s performance on Thursday certainly would have made it interesting. It’s just a simple way to grade their performance in a single game.

Kansas City Chiefs HC Andy Reid and QB Patrick Mahomes spoke about the "choir huddle" tribute to Len Dawson and how it came to be.

Mahomes is the only player in franchise history to have accomplished a few of the feats that Dawson had during the course of his playing career. And as a person, he was one of the best people that I’ve met, and I got to meet him a couple of times here. They did it for Hank Stram in a 2003 regular-season game against the Pittsburgh Steelers and “It was the Dallas Texans that came to Kansas City, joined the NFL (National Football League) and the AFL (American Football League) and he won those games. He also became the only other player in team history to win Super Bowl MVP. I’m going to try and do my best to get more flags up there and try to win a few more super bowls.” He was responsible for connecting generations of fans to the Chiefs. “Yeah, first of all as a player, I mean he was kind of the guy that got the Kansas City Chiefs going,” Mahomes said. He also said that the defensive players and the coaching staff were eager to see it happen. “The players completely bought into it and wanted to do it.
