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.

Despite the Chiefs sitting Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce and five defensive starters, the Seahawks — particularly the run game — showed promise in Friday's preseason win.
