Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Shane Buechele has made his case for the team’s backup role in the preseason and showed some serious athleticism on this impressive touchdown run against the Arizona Cardinals on Saturday.

The play came early in the second quarter on Buechele’s first drive with the Chiefs’ second-team offense after Patrick Mahomes led Kansas City on a touchdown drive late in the first quarter. Buechele drove the Chiefs downfield with surgical precision in his first action of the game and looked like he was in sync with his receivers.
Though fans are sure to wish that Mahomes was still taking snaps in this game, Buechele’s standout run provided a needed boost to Kansas City’s offense, which was less than spectacular last week against the New Orleans Saints.
Watch for Buechele to get more looks with the Chiefs’ second-team offense in this game as Kansas City’s coaching staff weighs their options for the backup quarterback spot on their depth chart ahead of the regular season.
