Chiefs end preseason with 9-9 tie, spotlighting rookie pass rusher and run game depth
The Kansas City Chiefs concluded their preseason with a 9-9 tie against the Seattle Seahawks, ending a three-year exhibition losing streak. The game served as a final evaluation for roster decisions, with rookie defensive end R Mason Thomas and running back Brashard Smith emerging as key performers. While quarterback Garrett Nussmeier played the entire game, his inconsistent decision-making remains a concern. The Chiefs must finalize their 53-man roster by Sunday, with tight end Andrew Armstrong and kicker Jason Myers facing uncertain futures.
