The New Orleans Saints spoiled the Chiefs’ preseason opener by sneaking out a 26-24 win in the Superdome.
As the team’s preseason opener against the New Orleans Saints got underway, the Kansas City Chiefs didn’t look very sharp. Shortly after the second quarter began, the Chiefs were trailing 17-0. But once reserve players started entering the game, Kansas City began making its way back.
At the end of the third quarter, the Chiefs took a 21-17 lead. But holding a 24-23 lead with a minute remaining, Kansas City gave up an interception deep in its own territory. That led to Blake Grupe’s 31-yard field goal that gave the Saints a 26-24 win.
