The Chiefs hit the road for their second of three preseason games ahead of the Sept. 14 regular-season opener, visiting the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Saturday evening.

Patrick Mahomes did not play in the game at Raymond James Stadium, but we knew going in that he wouldn’t. Most starters didn’t play all that much.

The point wasn’t to get reps for the No. 1s, but to continue reviewing the personnel behind them on the depth chart ahead of the Chiefs’ season opener against the Denver Broncos on “Monday Night Football.”

Here are some photos from Saturday’s game in Florida. One more preseason contest remains for the Chiefs, next Friday against the Seattle Seahawks at Arrowhead Stadium.
