The Chiefs recovered a Greg Dortch fumble on the opening kickoff, and with a penalty tacked on, began their first drive at the Arizona 13. Isiah Pacheco went 8 yards on first down before Mahomes threw incomplete to Tyquan Thorton. Cardinals rookie cornerback Will Johnson, though, was cited for defensive pass interference.

The Chiefs will take on the Arizona Cardinals Saturday evening at 7 p.m. for the team's first preseason matchup. While the starters will likely play just one quarter or less, it'll still be a good opportunity to see how the 2025 offense is coming along.

The Kansas City Chiefs will begin the road back to the Super Bowl with a preseason game against the Arizona Cardinals on Saturday night. It is also the time of year when many key players and starters will sit out in an attempt to avoid any unnecessary injuries,
