Chiefs football coach Andy Reid is still confident in wide receiver Kadarius Toney as an asset to the team’s offense in light of his latest on-the-field miscues.
During the Chiefs’ 27–17 win against the Patriots in Week 15, Toney failed to catch a short pass across the middle from quarterback Patrick Mahomes that resulted in an interception by New England linebacker Jahlani Tavai in the fourth quarter. Two plays later, the Patriots took advantage of the Chiefs’ turnover with a touchdown to cut Kansas City’s deficit to 10 points.
But before Toney’s late-game blunder on Sunday, he dominated NFL headlines and sports talk shows during the past week for his late-game offsides penalty that negated a risky, improvised touchdown that included a lateral between him and Travis Kelce in the final minutes of the Chiefs’ 20–17 loss to the Bills.
