The Kansas City Chiefs came up short in their first exhibition matchup of the preseason against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Saturday night, but their failure to secure victory wasn’t a total loss.
Among the most impressive performers in the game was wide receiver Justyn Ross, who made a beautiful toe-tapping catch on the sideline to help third-string quarterback Chris Oladokun keep a drive alive in the second half.
Check out this video of Ross perfectly tracking the ball in the air as he nears the boundary, and notice the nifty footwork that the veteran uses to ensure that he comes down with the catch cleanly:

Though Kansas City has plenty of work left to be done ahead of their regular season kickoff against the Baltimore Ravens in September, efforts like this one from Ross are an inspiring reminder of what the Chiefs are capable of.
Expect to see Ross back in action during Kansas City’s next preseason tilt against the Detroit Lions at Arrowhead Stadium on August 17.
