When the Kansas City Chiefs offense first took the field on Monday afternoon against the Buffalo Bills, there was a notable and surprising change to the starting lineup.
Center Austin Reiter was not in the huddle. Instead, veteran backup Daniel Kilgore was the player snapping the ball to quarterback Patrick Mahomes. Kilgore — a 10-year veteran — was signed on August 27th after starting 13 games for the Miami Dolphins last season.
Our own Craig Stout noticed the change could be coming when he spotted Kilgore taking snaps during warmups.
Broadcast showed a *potential* change for the Chiefs offensive line during warm-ups. That would be a big surprise for the Chiefs offense. https://t.co/g7vCQV764d
