The Arizona Cardinals opened the preseason with a 20-17 win over the Kansas City Chiefs Saturday night at State Farm Stadium. They fell behind 14-3, but backup quarterback Jacoby Brissett threw two touchdown passes in the second quarter, and then both teams only scored a field goal the rest of the way.

The Arizona Cardinals emerged victorious against the Kansas City Chiefs in 20-17 fashion in Week 1 preseason action. Both teams played their starters - though Kansas City was quick to pull their first unit, opting only to play Patrick Mahomes for one short series.

Arizona Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon said his starters would play in the preseason opener against the Kansas City Chiefs, including quarterback Kyler Murray. However, two healthy defensive starters were held out of the game — two of the team's biggest offseason additions in free agency.
