No Chris Jones, Nick Bolton and Trent McDuffie made a big difference in the Chiefs’ preseason loss at Seattle.

K.C. did not play its best starters, including quarterback Patrick Mahomes, tight end Travis Kelce and defensive tackle Chris Jones. This was mostly all backups beginning with the second quarter, meaning the result shouldn’t be perceived as an accurate measure of team dominance.

Kansas City's offense was held to just 156 total net yards in the game, but managed to avoid any turnovers in the exhibition contest. Second-year running back Carson Steele and rookie rusher Brashard Smith led the Chiefs' ground game with 22 yards each on seven and three carries, respectively.
