Chiefs' players of the game for preseason Week 1 vs. Houston Texans
By Nicolas Roesch
August 9, 2018
Week 1 of the NFL preseason is in the books.
The starters looked lackluster on both sides of the ball. It was very vanilla as expected and the defense was missing multiple starters.
Offensive Player of The Game: WR Demarcus Robinson
There were some bright spots, however, and receiver Demarcus Robinson was one of them. He is our offensive player of the game.
Robinson finished the game with three receptions for 48 yards and a touchdown. On the touchdown reception, he ran a beautiful route and put a great double move on his defender. He also did a great job catching the ball with his arms fully extended. Just as he has during training camp this summer, Robinson flashed his speed, route running and reliable hands.
Defensive Player of The Game: LB Ben Niemann
Over on the defensive side of the ball, numerous players in the front seven got nice pushes and made an impact. One of those guys were linebacker Ben Niemann, who gets our defensive player of the game. Niemann recorded five total tackles in the game, including a huge stuff on fourth-and-1.
Niemann is another player who’s opened some eyes during training camp and has a shot at making the roster. Backup inside linebacker behind Reggie Ragland and Anthony Hitchens is wide open and Niemann has a chance to be the next guy up behind them.
Special Teams Player of The Game: K Harrison Butker
It’d be nice to give this award to a kick returner or another special-teamer, but Butker had the most solid day out of anyone on special teams. He was 1-for-1 on both field goals and extra points.
