The Kansas City Chiefs have completed their third and final preseason game with a 17-10 win over the Green Bay Packers. The game provided a last in-game look at the roster depth as players on the bubble tried to make a late pitch for a roster spot. There were solid performances on both sides of the ball, with some eye-catching plays that sent social media into a frenzy.
Here are some of the best Twitter reactions from the preseason Week 3 game at Arrowhead Stadium:
Patrick Mahomes honors Len Dawson with sugar/choir huddle
Mahomes wasn’t expected to play in the Chiefs’ preseason finale, but he suited up for one play to pay tribute to the late Len Dawson with the sugar/choir huddle. The play resulted in an expected penalty that the Packers later declined out of respect, and Mahomes would immediately retreat to the bench in favor of Chad Henne. Fans and spectators shared their thoughts on the emotional tribute on Twitter.

The Packers forgot to cover Matt Bushman and Shane Buechele makes them pay.

@Chief's Matt Bushman just scored a TD where nobody touched him. He spent the last year on the Raider's practice squad. Onward, Sweet Rivalry, ONWARD!
