Final Score
Kansas City Chiefs 38, Cincinnati Bengals 17
Kansas City Chiefs
Jeremiah Attaochu did a little bit of everything tonight. He had multiple pressures, defensive stops and even a batted pass.
Tight end Nick Keizer, an undrafted free agent in 2018, turned in a strong performance against Cincy on Saturday. He caught 3-of-4 targets for 24 yards and held his own for the most part when asked to block in the run game.
Cincinnati Bengals
While he didn't play a ton on Saturday, quarterback Andy Dalton turned in a great performance across a limited sample size. He finished the night having completed 7-of-9 passes for 80 yards.
Bengals' Darius Phillips, a second-year defensive back and former fifth-rounder, had a strong outing against Kansas City's receivers. He gave up next to nothing in coverage and picked up two forced incompletions on the night.
Kansas City Chiefs
New Chiefs linebacker Darron Lee made some great plays in run defense on Saturday, but some mistakes in coverage dragged his overall performance down quite a bit,
Undrafted rookie offensive lineman Abdul Beecham looked like a fish out of water in limited action. He struggled to hold his own in pass protection and in the run game.
Cincinnati Bengals
Second-year Texas product Malik Jefferson really struggled in this one. He picked up negative grades in coverage and run defense en route to an underwhelming overall performance.
Veteran Tony Lippett, a former receiver at Michigan State turned cornerback, made some mistakes in coverage against Kansas City, including a defensive pass interference penalty while covering rookie speedster Mecole Hardman.
