The Kansas City Chiefs have successfully come back from a 19-point deficit to take the lead against the Cleveland Browns in their preseason finale and control their destiny heading into the fourth quarter of the matchup.
After a Dicaprio Bootle interception put Kansas City in favorable field position late in the third quarter, quarterback Chris Oladokun found tight end Matt Bushman for this impressive touchdown to tie the game.

Safety Justin Reid came in to nail the point after, which officially gave Kansas City their second lead of the game after seeing their first-quarter advantage evaporate after offensive dysfunction derailed their efforts early in the game.
Bushman has proven to be a consistent presence with the Chiefs’ second and third-team offensive units, and with fan-favorite tight end Jody Fortson out due to injury, he has a chance to sneak onto Kansas City’s 53-man roster next week.
Plays like this will certainly help him secure a coveted regular-season roster spot, and if he can make another touchdown catch in the fourth quarter of this game, Bushman could solidify his spot as the Chiefs’ fourth tight end.
