This play ended in an incompletion, but there were plenty of thoughts on Mahomes attempting to evade four defenders and throw a cross-body pass while jumping out of bounds. The intended receiver, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, could get a fingertip on the ball but couldn’t reel it in for a catch. Social media was in shock regardless of the incompletion result.

Mahomes finished his preseason outing with a touchdown pass to veteran receiver Justin Watson after an impressive drive by the first-team offense. The reigning MVP was 10 of 15 for 105 yards and the touchdown and looked very sharp in Arizona. Fans and critics on social media shared their thoughts on the scoring drive.

After an electric performance in last week’s preseason opener, Buechele picked up right where he left off from New Orleans. The former SMU star scrambled for a 15-yard touchdown extending the Chiefs’ first-half lead. Social media praised Buechel as he received another celebratory hug from Mahomes on the sidelines.

Veteran quarterback Blaine Gabbert ensured he wasn’t left out of all the fun by having a spectacular game. Gabbert made some tough throws working with more of the Chiefs’ young and talented receivers. He connected with Ihmir Smith-Marsette and Cornell Powell for touchdown passes, extending the Chiefs’ lead and delighting fans on social media.
