The Kansas City Chiefs lost 16-15 to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in preseason Week 2, despite Harrison Butker drilling a 69-yard field goal. With the offense still struggling to score touchdowns, the tape shows a quarterback competition that remains unsettled heading into the preseason finale against Seattle.

In this episode, we break down the film from both sides of the ball. On offense, we examine Garrett Nussmeier's hesitant play, Brashard Smith's breakout rushing performance, and Emmett Johnson's 1-yard touchdown. On defense, we highlight DeShon Singleton's 8 tackles, Felix Anudike-Uzomah's sack, and the missed tackles that cost the Chiefs late. We also dive deep into Brashard Smith's case for a roster spot and what it means for the running back room.

With the Chiefs still winless in the preseason, we preview the Seattle Seahawks matchup on August 29 and identify the key improvements needed on both sides of the ball. Patrick Mahomes is questionable, so the quarterback battle between Nussmeier and Chris Oladokun takes center stage.

In this episode: Offense Film Review · Defense Film Review · Deep Dive: Brashard Smith.
