Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes throws a pass versus the Chicago Bears during the preseason final.
The Kansas City Chiefs’ 2025 preseason is officially over, and head coach Andy Reid provided every fan’s favorite summer news after Patrick Mahomes and the KC offense marched up and down the field for three early scores against the Chicago Bears.
“As far as injuries go, nobody was injured, which is a good thing,” Coach Reid relayed after the game. He added that it was also “a positive” that they were able to play everybody healthy enough to suit up for the Friday night outing.
New KC Star beat reporter Pete Sweeney (formerly Arrowhead Pride) took to X to share the fantastic news.
“A very good night for the Chiefs,” he posted. “The top two units looked good, no new injuries — and exactly 14 days from the opener for those mending injuries to get right.”
In other words, Kansas City is in perfect shape to begin another Super Bowl quest come Week 1. And better yet, Mahomes and the offense looked dialed in on August 22.

It wasn’t just a night where the Chiefs’ offense appeared to be trending in the right direction. Mahomes and KC came out firing like they were in midseason form.
Sure, there were a few misses early on, but it didn’t stop the two-time NFL MVP from connecting on 8-of-13 for 143 passing yards and 1 touchdown (first touchdown drive ended in an Isiah Pacheco run).
Of course, if you watched the game, you’re probably well aware that Mahomes’ top highlight of the night came on a 58-yard deep ball to Tyquan Thornton — who appeared to solidify his roster spot, if it wasn’t already solidified.
“If we do that, it opens up the rest of the offense, and everybody can get going,” Mahomes said after the game, regarding the deep gainer.
Otherwise, in typical Mahomes fashion, the Chiefs QB spread the ball around to players like Rashee Rice (2 catches, touchdown), Travis Kelce, JuJu Smith-Schuster, Xavier Worthy, rookie running back Brashard Smith and more.
Most importantly, he looked very comfortable behind pretty steady blocking from the offensive line.
