Andy Reid, the head coach of the Kansas City Chiefs, is renowned for having called offensive plays, even though he acknowledges that quarterback Patrick Mahomes only receives suggestions from him.
Mahomes was rolling to his right when he zipped the pass behind his back to Kelce, who was dragging across the field, drawing some pressure from Detroit defensive tackle Josh Paschal. On a third-and-3 at the Detroit 33, the completion was good for 9 yards and a first down, which ultimately assisted in setting up a field goal.
Reid seemed ready to move on, not so much marvelling at what he’d just witnessed as criticising his quarterback’s audacious improvisation.
“Where are we right now?” During the game, Reid, who was wearing a microphone, told his assistant coaches on Saturday. Alright. Come on, let’s go.
