Reid Sticks With Chiefs’ Offensive Blueprint as Mahomes Owns Deep-Throw Woes

Kansas City enters Week 12 seeking cleaner situational execution against Indianapolis after a 5-5 start.

Overview

  • Andy Reid said he will not overhaul the scheme, stressing attention to details and sharper play in pivotal moments.
  • Reid pointed to frequent RPO calls that have tilted toward passes, drawing scrutiny after the 22-19 loss to Denver.
  • Patrick Mahomes said he is "not making the throws" and cited missed shots downfield, with PFF charting him at 17-for-48 on attempts of 20-plus yards.
  • Despite ranking seventh in total offense, Kansas City faltered in Week 11 with 5-for-13 on third down, 1-for-4 in the red zone and 10 penalties.
  • The Chiefs host the 8-2 Colts on Nov. 23 in a test of whether execution fixes can stabilize the offense.
