Justin Watson Catches One Pass In Preseason Finale

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Justin Watson had an impressive preseason. It ended with a bit of a dud, as he had just one catch for nine yards.

Ronald Jones Runs Well In Preseason Finale

Kansas City Chiefs running back Ronald Jones carried the ball eight times for 43 yards in Thursday's preseason finale against the Packers. He caught his only target for four yards.

Isiah Pacheco Leads Chiefs In Rushing In Preseason Finale

Kansas City Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco got plenty of work in the team's preseason finale against the Packers, with 10 carries for 52 yards.

Shane Buechele Throws Pair Of Touchdowns

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Shane Buechele ended the preseason on a high note, going 11-for-17 with 166 yards and two touchdowns in a win over the Packers. Buechele's an intriguing player.
