The two-time defending Super Bowl champion Chiefs will host Lions in their second preseason game this week.

In their first preseason game, the Chiefs fell on the road to the Jaguars. Two-time NFL MVP and three-time Super Bowl champion star quarterback Patrick Mahomes played just one series for Kansas City. Undrafted rookie running back Carson Steele impressed in his debut with a touchdown.

In the Lions' first preseason game, no starters saw the field in a loss to the Giants, as coach Dan Campbell opted to rest quarterback Jared Goff, receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown, defensive end Aidan Hutchinson and more.

The two teams faced each other in Week 1 of the 2023 NFL season, and the Lions got a big, 21-20 win on the road to kick off a season that ended with their first division title since 1993.
