Weather forecast: http://nflweather.com/assets/weather/small/npartly-cloudy-day.png 85 degrees Fahrenheit. Mosly Cloudy. 4 mph WSW winds.

Line: Chiefs -2.5, Over/Under: 46.5

Adam Teicher says:
Patrick Mahomes and the starting Chiefs offense looked ready for the regular season in last week's game on their one drive, which ended with a touchdown against the Bengals. Mahomes was 4-for-4 for 66 yards, including a perfectly-placed throw down the left sideline to Travis Kelce on the first play. But coach Andy Reid said he won't vary from the usual in Saturday night's game against the Steelers. The starters will play most, if not all, of the first half. The risk seems greater than the reward in this case, though Reid didn't agree. ‘'He wants to work and we go with that,'' Reid said. “You never know about injuries. You never know about them during the season and you don't know about them during the preseason.'' When I asked Mahomes how much preseason playing time he needed, he said, “I've never really thought about it. For me, I treat the preseason like it's the regular season. Go out there and try to play the game the way it's supposed to be played. Until coach takes me out, I'm going to go out there and try to score points.''

One down, three more to go.

The Kansas City Chiefs kicked off the preseason with a victory last Saturday, handily defeating the Cincinnati Bengals at Arrowhead Stadium. It marked a major step in the Chiefs’ march toward the 2019 regular season, as Kansas City finally took the field against an opponent in preparation for the upcoming campaign.

Players up and down the roster impressed in that game, from quarterback Patrick Mahomes and the starting offense scoring on their lone possession to rookie tailback Darwin Thompson tallying 51 yards of total offense on six touches.

It wasn’t quite the real thing just yet, but it was still exciting nonetheless, and the Chiefs will be back at it on Saturday night in Pittsburgh to take on the Steelers in the second week of preseason action.

The Chiefs’ latest memory in Pittsburgh is undoubtedly a fond one, as Mahomes matched a franchise-record with six touchdown passes as part of Kansas City’s first victory over the Steelers on the road since 1986 last season.

This contest won’t carry the stakes of that matchup, but it will provide the Chiefs with another opportunity to improve with the regular season just two weeks away. Mahomes and company will play somewhere around the first half, according to Head Coach Andy Reid, allotting Kansas City’s starting unit a shot at some live competition.

“I just want to be successful at moving the ball down the field,” Mahomes explained. “It’s not so much about throwing touchdowns or going out there and getting the big play - it’s just about positive gains, moving the ball the right way, and, hopefully, that turns into points.”

Mahomes completed 4-of-4 passes for 66 yards in last week’s victory, connecting with tight end Travis Kelce on a 36-yard completion down the left sideline on Kansas City’s first offensive play. It marked Kelce’s lone snap of the game, but it only fueled the excitement surrounding this team heading into 2019.

Kelce will likely have a chance to do a little bit more against Pittsburgh on Saturday.

“The sky is the limit for this offense,” Kelce said. “The guys who have been here and that have been here the last couple years - especially last year - we’re taking it up a level [from where] we have in years past. You can just tell from the coaches’ excitement, their attention to detail and from how guys are reacting to their coaching. This team is going to be awesome and we’re going to have a lot of fun on the offensive side of the ball.”

That’s an exciting thought considering the Chiefs’ posted the third-best statistical offense in NFL history last season, but that kind of production doesn’t just happen overnight. It’s months of preparation – beginning with Organized Team Activities last spring all the way to training camp – culminating in tangible results.

https://scontent-dfw5-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/69096779_2792456567448720_2193698075925544960_n.jp g?_nc_cat=105&_nc_oc=AQkDmOwBTzYO5-XlBX0hu8L3yjeYjxVWKP883ECGoiXigqfqyCLatjWT8UMiYVWs KDs&_nc_ht=scontent-dfw5-1.xx&oh=014375a2b2ebd50e3e14904919d96160&oe=5DCA7315 (https://www.chiefs.com/video/five-players-to-watch-on-saturday-night-against-the-steelers)

The Chiefs broke camp on Thursday and will head back to the training facility to continue that work following Saturday’s game, and so far, Coach Reid feels good about where the team is readiness-wise.

"I feel like we have [accomplished what we were looking to do] to this point. Now, do we have a bunch of work to get done yet? Yeah, we do before the season starts,” Reid said. “The guys came out [to camp] with what I thought was a great attitude. They had a purpose of wanting to be better. That's the way they approached it. Every day, they came with something individually to make themselves better, and then collectively as a team, to make themselves better."

That preparation continues on Saturday night in Pittsburgh, and as Mahomes reflected on the Chiefs’ three weeks in St. Joseph, his excitement for what’s next was all too clear.

“As you get closer and closer to the season, this is one of those little milestones where you get through camp and you know that you’re that much closer,” Mahomes said. “It was awesome out here this year. We were able to build a lot of chemistry and we got to have a lot of fun, so we’re happy to be here, but now we’re going back to Kansas City and getting ready. This season is going to be big.”

I updated the links in Post #2. I don't know which are Chiefs broadcast and which are Steelers or NFLN. You will just have to try them.

[matthewschiefs]

Game will be delayed due to weather

[TopekaRoy]

Game will be delayed due to weather
A little Thundersorm is passing through. It look likes clear skies to follow, though. Now they are saying kickoff no earlier than 8:00. We'll see.

[matthewschiefs]

Chiefs just said 7:15

[TopekaRoy]

Chiefs just said 7:15
I guess the pregame show meant 8:00 Eastern. Now, I'm hearing 7:30 Central.

Unfortunately, my IPTV service is blocking the KC feed from KCNT 5 and KMOV 4 St. Louis. (Thanks NFL!) Oddly, I'm still getting the Pittsburgh KDKA 2 feed. I also get NFL Sunday Ticket, but it's not up yet. Not sure which broadcast they will have. It's also on NFL Network but that will probably be the PIT feed since they are the home team.

I guess I can't complain for $5 per month.

[matthewschiefs]

Yes the Chiefs just tweeted 7:30 unless there's more lighting

[matthewschiefs]

3 and out to start for the D good to see even if it's just preseason

[Eydugstr]

Pittsburg got away with some holding there

[matthewschiefs]

SACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Eydugstr]

First down !!

[Eydugstr]

Way to fumble Hyde

[matthewschiefs]

Yeah that's not how you insure a roster spot Hyde

[TopekaRoy]

Way to fumble Hyde
That's not good, but the defense has looked decent so far. Of course, that's without Rothlisburger.

[TopekaRoy]

I'm stuck watching the Steelers broadcast, but at least it's in HD.

[TopekaRoy]

Chiefs got it right back!

[matthewschiefs]

And we get the ball right back :)

[TopekaRoy]

Thanks! I'll try it next commercial break.

[Eydugstr]

Really not surprised Mahomes is out. Why risk it?

[Eydugstr]

Thanks Pittsburg

[Eydugstr]

Nice job of pushing the pile

[Eydugstr]

Nice catch Yelder!!

[Seek]

Yelder's knee buckled under him as he was dragged down from behind. He limped off

[Seek]

Hyde does not look the role of primary guy

[Eydugstr]

Jersey tackle by Sorenson...lol

[Eydugstr]

D isn't getting torched by screen passes. Nice change.

[matthewschiefs]

Welp there's the D we all know and hate

[TopekaRoy]

Welp there's the D we all know and hate
Our offense couldn't say on the field and our defense couldn't get off of it!

[TopekaRoy]

I'm liking what I'm seeing from Thompson so far. He'll make a good complement to Williams.

[matthewschiefs]

Nice throw and catch to Kemp there

[TopekaRoy]

Nice pass, Chad!

[Eydugstr]

First down Thompson!!

[Eydugstr]

Our o-line is getting rattled

[Eydugstr]

TD Hardman!!!

[Seek]

inwas just about to say I'd rather see shumur over Henne then he throws that td

[TopekaRoy]

Chad throws a bullet on 3rd and 15. Nice!

[matthewschiefs]

Our backups just scored on their starters or at least some of them :)

[TopekaRoy]

LOL @ Buttkicker!

[Eydugstr]

Wow Pittsburg just answered back

[Seek]

kpas is looking good again this game

[Eydugstr]

C'mon D

[Eydugstr]

Good job D

[matthewschiefs]

Test for the D on 4th lets go

[Eydugstr]

...and we hand it right back to them...

[matthewschiefs]

And the D passed the test Good to see again even if it's just preseason

[matthewschiefs]

UGH That should not happen even in preseason with a Vet QB

[TopekaRoy]

Good stop by the D after giving up that long pass. And the Chiefs turnover the ball again!

[Eydugstr]

Big pick by Ward.

[matthewschiefs]

PICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!

[matthewschiefs]

Hell of a job to respond by the D again even if it's preseason. This D looks a lot better then they were a year ago at this time. Hopefully this carries over to when the games start to count

[TopekaRoy]

Butker missed a 58 yard field goal. Get rid of him! :D

[Eydugstr]

Butker missed a 58 yard field goal. Get rid of him! :D
Yeah it's all the kicker's fault.....

[TopekaRoy]

Defense has had it's ups and downs but they look better than last year. It's hard to judge without all the starters playing.

[TopekaRoy]

Our 3rd string offense looked pretty good for a minute there. Then they went off the rails.

[matthewschiefs]

Defense has had it's ups and downs but they look better than last year. It's hard to judge without all the starters playing.

As long as they look better there is reason to hope

With our offense and the MVP they don't have to be the top D just not the pushover Bob Sutton's crew was last year

[TopekaRoy]

Yeah, if our offense doesn't keep scoring too quickly and gives them enough time to recover, we should be much improved.

[matthewschiefs]

Should have challenged for PI it's preseason what do you really have to lose

[TopekaRoy]

There are going to be some tough decisions to make on the final cut day ... and some really easy ones!

[TopekaRoy]

Steelers announcers are furious that the offensive pass interference call wasn't overturned. They won't overturn many of those. It has to be a clear and obvious mistake.

[Eydugstr]

Understand that its preseason but so far not impressed with this D. Too many battles lost at the LOS.

[Eydugstr]

Why didn't Miller look for the ball?

[TopekaRoy]

Understand that its preseason but so far not impressed with this D. Too many battles lost at the LOS.Most of these guys won't be on the roster in September.

[Chiefs4life24]

Sorry I'm late guys but, if their was ever a case for shortening the preseason this game would be a prime example of why that should happen.

[Eydugstr]

Most of these guys won't be on the roster in September.

My comment was aimed at the D as a whole...not just the roster.

[TopekaRoy]

Sorry I'm late guys but, if their was ever a case for shortening the preseason this game would be a prime example of why that should happen.
Maybe hey should just play 3 10 minute periods in pre-season; one for the first string, one for the second and one for the bubble guys.

[Eydugstr]

Wow Litton got popped.

[Eydugstr]

Good try by the offense to get another score.

[TopekaRoy]

Well, that's four hours of my life I can't get back. The regular season can't come soon enough for me.

[matthewschiefs]

My comment was aimed at the D as a whole...not just the roster.

Making major changes it's going to take some time before they look "great"

I was encouraged by how they bounced back a couple times early last year they would have let a team go right on in for a score.

Granted it's preseason against a AFC opponent....but despite the changes we're still making the same mistakes.

Some of them yes and that is a concern. But the good news is there is still time to fix things and with roster cuts around the league there could still be help to come.

All I know is they didn't fold after a turnover which has been a very annoying habit from our defenses over the years. That's a plus. And a step in the right direction even if it is just a small step

IMO it's going to take another off-season with some front office help to Spags to get it really sorted out. While I hope that we'll find some help after the cuts, not expecting miracles either.

After watching this game again beginning to dismiss it as vanilla preseason football against an AFC opponent.
