The Kansas City Chiefs got cute against the New Orleans Saints on Sunday and got burned on their first drive of the game on a botched tight end sneak to Blake Bell.
Head coach Andy Reid called the play after Patrick Mahomes insisted on attempting a fourth down conversion, and wasn’t shy about telling the media that it didn’t work after the loss.
“After looking at it on the replay, we probably should have gone to the left
and not the right,” Reid explained. “They ended up pinching on that side, the left side, and we probably could have gone in that direction. We’re trying to get where we can do that. We can’t work on that in camp live. You get good work on it here. It didn’t work. That was the bottom line. We have to go back to the drawing board on it.”
Reid’s offense will have a chance to redeem itself against the Arizona Cardinals on Saturday and would be wise to avoid getting too tricky in their effort to secure their first win of the preseason.
