Chiefs

Here’s the biggest takeaway from Chiefs rookie Rashee Rice’s big game vs. Cardinals

Rookie Rashee Rice was one of the standouts of the Kansas City Chiefs’ 38-10 preseason victory over the Arizona Cardinals on Saturday, catching eight passes for 96 yards in 24 offensive snaps.

In this video, KC Star reporter Jesse Newell and Brett Taveau — author of the Chiefs book “Unpacking Greatness” and a longtime high school offensive coordinator — go deep into the film to show what Chiefs coaches threw at Rice in his second preseason game ... before analyzing what Saturday’s usage could mean for him moving forward.
