Bailey Zappe got the most of the brunt work for the Chiefs against the Cardinals, but his performance could greatly be improved as they approach the regular season. Collecting 70 passing yards in eight completions through 17 attempts, Zappe threw two interceptions and had a passer rating of 18.9.

Chiefs safety Jaden Hicks also baited the throw. Hicks made it look like he was coming back down to cover Trey McBride, who was closer to the line of scrimmage and at the sideline, leading Murray to believe that he could just drop the throw in over the top to get to Marvin Harrison Jr.

It was a short night for Patrick Mahomes, whose one pass went for a TD, and a bit of a long one for guard Kingsley Suamataia.
