Three quarterbacks took the field for Kansas City on Saturday as Justin Fields, Garrett Nussmeier and Chris Oladokun each had an opportunity to lead the Chiefs' offense for multiple drives. It was Nussmeier, the Chiefs' seventh-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, that led Kansas City on an 11-play, 51-yard series that culminated in a go-ahead 59-yard field goal by kicker Harrison Butker early in the third quarter.
Nussmeier finished his outing by completing 13-of-19 passes for 98 yards, demonstrating the ability that made him one of the top quarterbacks in all of college football during his time at LSU.
"I thought he did some nice things," Reid said. "For his first time out there rolling, I thought he handled it well and made some nice throws. He had some long yardage situations that he had to get himself out of, and he did a good job there."
