The Kansas City Chiefs have another preseason game in the books with a 38-10 victory over the Arizona Cardinals at State Farm Stadium. The Chiefs’ starters and second teams showed strong outings taking control of the game early.
Here are some of the best Twitter reactions from the preseason Week 2 game in Arizona:
Patrick Mahomes attempts a jump pass out of bounds
This play ended in an incompletion, but there were plenty of thoughts on Mahomes attempting to evade four defenders and throw a cross-body pass while jumping out of bounds. The intended receiver, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, could get a fingertip on the ball but couldn’t reel it in for a catch. Social media was in shock regardless of the incompletion result.

Look man. Patrick Mahomes is insanely athletic and talented. But I am so tired of seeing clips of him throwing incomplete passes just bc he jumped out of bounds first lol

Justin Watson makes the roster on a TD that takes Patrick Mahomes out of the game.
I don’t think I’ve ever posted a more bittersweet tweet in my life.
