Mahomes expected to play

It’s the preseason, which means we’ll most of our time watching rookies and backups jockey for position on the depth chart, but on Saturday night, we will also get our first glimpse at the reigning MVP. Not only will Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes play on Saturday, he will play for an entire quarter. 

“I do it by quarterbacks, so Patrick [Mahomes] has the first quarter and then Chad [Henne] has the second quarter, [Kyle] Shurmur the third quarter and Chase [Litton] the fourth quarter,” said Chiefs coach Andy Reid, per the team’s website. “Then the guys fall in. Everybody will play in the game. The main thing is that we get some of the young guys some playing time. You normally cut down the game plan a little bit for this. Just take some of the simpler plays — the easier plays that you’ve run during camp — and let them go out and play.”

It might be the preseason, but whenever Mahomes is playing football, it qualifies as must-watch television.

Zac Taylor’s coaching debut

The Bengals hired Taylor to replace longtime coach Marvin Lewis. Moving on from Lewis was long overdue, but it’s also OK to be skeptical about the team’s decision to hire Taylor, who spent the past two years as the Rams’ wide receivers coach, then quarterbacks coach. He’s regarded as an innovative offensive mind, but he’s rarely called plays in the NFL. On Saturday, Taylor will make his coaching debut and we’ll get a first look at his offense — or as much of it as he’s willing to show.
