Patrick Mahomes stole the show once again! Although most of the teams refrained from using any of their starters in the preseason, it wasn’t the same for the Chiefs. The reigning champs put their star QB on the field, igniting the season with full-blown excitement. Even in a brief appearance and a narrow loss to the Saints, there were heartwarming and awe-inspiring moments for fans.

The 26-24 score created a breathtaking spectacle, confirming that football is back in action. From lively celebrations on the sidelines to jaw-dropping athletic displays, both teams brought intense energy, cranking up the hype even higher.

Patrick Mahomes truly enjoyed this touchdown!

After briefly appearing on the gridiron and even jump-scaring the fans by running with the ball instead of throwing it, the Chiefs’ star QB swayed the hearts of many. In their previous 2020 encounter, the Chiefs clinched the win, but this preseason, the Saints charged ahead with a strong lead. So it’s no wonder Mahomes didn’t think twice before celebrating this touchdown.

With the Saints already ahead by 9 points, a touchdown from WR Justyn Ross had the 2X MVP leaping and throwing punches of joy. Although it’s only the preseason, the competition was sky-high, creating a buzz in the NFL world. As the third quarter ended, the Chiefs took a 4-point lead, but the Saints clinched a breathtaking victory with two field goals, kicking off the season in style.
