NFL Preseason Week 2 Recap: Detroit Lions 24, Kansas City Chiefs 23

Quarterback Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs‘ starters played two series, both ending in field goals, and showed off what should be a high-flying attack in the regular season and playoffs — with a behind-the-back pass to boot.

Rookie wideout Xavier Worthy was particularly active, hauling in a touchdown pass from Carson Wentz and finishing the game with 62 receiving yards on three catches and 11 rushing yards on one carry.

Nate Sudfeld got the start at quarterback for the Detroit Lions, who won 24-23, and added 196 passing yards and a touchdown of his own. Lions rookie running back Sione Vaki looked like a weapon in the passing game, too.
