Chiefs' offensive tackles struggle in preseason matchup against Buccaneers
Summary

The Kansas City Chiefs fell 16-15 to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on August 22, 2026, in their second preseason game. Despite the loss, there were concerns about the performance of the offensive tackles, particularly Jaylon Moore and Kahlil Benson, who allowed multiple quarterback pressures. With injuries affecting the lineup, the Chiefs adjusted their offensive line by moving Benson from guard to right tackle, but both players exhibited moments of poor protection. The team is approaching the final week of preseason, prompting evaluations to determine their lineup ahead of the regular season.
