Chiefs vs. Cardinals: Gardner Minshew scrambles for TD, puts KC up by two scores
The Kansas City Chiefs are off to a red-hot start against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 1 of the 2025 preseason. After an early touchdown pass from quarterback Patrick Mahomes to wide receiver Jason Brownlee put Kansas City up by seven points, the Cardinals managed to bounce back with a much-needed field goal. Mahomes' night ended after his connection with Brownlee, but veteran signal-caller Gardner Minshew wasted no time picking up where the two-time MVP left off, quickly taking the Chiefs' offense down the field for a touchdown drive. Check out this video of Minshew's outstanding touchdown scramble that gave Kansas City a two-score lead, which was posted to Twitter by the Chiefs' official account: Though fans in Kansas City will certainly hope that they won't have to see Minshew in action during the regular season, they can rest easy knowing that the Chiefs have such a capable backup behind Mahomes on their depth chart.

Chiefs Exuding Confidence in Mahomes Backup
Chiefs Exuding Confidence in Mahomes Backup originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Kansas City Chiefs will have a new backup quarterback on the roster this season, but like in years past, it is someone with a lot of NFL experience under their belt. Advertisement Last year Carson Wentz sat behind superstar Patrick Mahomes on the depth chart. This year, it will be free agent signee Gardner Minshew. Head coach Andy Reid believes Minshew's veteran presence will greatly benefit Mahomes and the offense. "He's been there — he's started, so he's got that,' Reid said in a press conference. 'He's got the confidence of the guys around him. Patrick knows he's been in there and done it, so they can bounce things off of each other." Minshew likely won't have trouble adapting to the unique offensive scheme Reid and Mahomes have been carving up defenses with for years in KC. Advertisement Minshew is a product of the "air raid" system in college under then Washington State head coach Mike Leach. Mahomes played under a similar philosophy at Texas Tech, the place Leach first introduced the revolutionary offense to the college ranks. After one season with the Las Vegas Raiders, Minshew joins his fourth team in four years, but Reid believes that experience in invaluable - wherever it is from in the NFL. "It's always good to have peers that have played, and you can talk to them about it a little bit," Reid added. "I think on game day he'll be great with Patrick, just with what he's seeing from the sideline and what Pat's seeing when he's in there.' Minshew has started in 22 of the last 27 games he's played in over the last two seasons. While he won't see that much action in Kansas City (ideally), he'll be able to recognize defenses to offer Mahomes insight, having seen them on the field recently. Advertisement The 29 year old is a former sixth round pick in 2019 of the Jacksonville Jaguars. Last year was one of his worst statistical seasons of his career, throwing for 10 interceptions and over 1,000 less yards than his 2023 campaign. He's often a viral internet sensation with his boisterous locker room personality and electric mustache. That energetic presence, along with football knowledge, hopes to make an impact on a Chiefs team that is on the precipice of making a fourth consecutive Super Bowl appearance.

Gardner Minshew details Patrick Mahomes practice habits that separate the Kansas City Chiefs star
Gardner Minshew joined the Kansas City Chiefs this spring after a 2024 season with the Las Vegas Raiders, where he started nine games and completed 66.3 percent of his passes for 2,013 yards, nine touchdowns, and ten interceptions. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Speaking on Thursday, the veteran explained what daily work with Patrick Mahomes looks like. 'It's been awesome, man. It's crazy watching him every day. It's been really cool. Watching how he prepares, how he takes notes, how he practices, and how he has fun,' Minshew said. 'There's so much he does at the highest, best level that it's really cool to be around.' The former Jacksonville Jaguars starter, who threw 21 touchdown passes as a rookie in 2019, emphasized that observing Mahomes' routine was a major reason he chose Kansas City. 'Seeing how he prepares, I think that's one of the things that I really wanted to come here and see: how he prepares, not only in the building but how he gets his body right?' Minshew added. 'How does he train? I think he does everything at the elite, like the highest level. And there's just so much to take from that.' With Mahomes aiming for a fourth straight appearance, Minshew's experience provides insurance if injuries strike again. Fox Sports analyst Henry McKenna ranks Patrick Mahomes No. 1 after Kansas City Chiefs upgrade offensive line Patrick Mahomes owns two MVP awards and three Super Bowl victories, and he remains the top quarterback in Henry McKenna's preseason stock ranking for Fox Sports. McKenna cited Kansas City's offseason moves, including the signings of left tackle Jaylon Moore and rookie tackle Josh Simmons, as key reasons for optimism. 'Mahomes might not finish the season with a stellar record, but his individual performances will look a whole lot prettier than last year,' McKenna wrote. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now 'The Chiefs invested in the left tackle position in both free agency (Jaylon Moore) and the draft (Josh Simmons). I'm willing to bet that position holds solid throughout the season. If the line keeps it together and the young wideouts (Rashee Rice, Xavier Worthy) continue to ascend, Mahomes can finally do more with his offense. Which means he'll be the best QB in the NFL again.' Head coach Andy Reid echoed the focus on protection after last season's pass-rush struggles. Reid said the staff took full responsibility and expects better results with the rebuilt front.
