“That Loss Is on Andy Reid”: Former Chiefs OG Doesn’t Hold Back on HC’s Game Management After Shocking Defeat to Broncos

Andy Reid, © IMAGNThe Kansas City Chiefs suffered a stunning 28-24 loss to the Denver Broncos. Andy Reid’s team squandered an 11-point lead, missed a crucial field goal, and failed to convert a potential game-winning drive in the final seconds. Reid made several late-game decisions that may have cost Kansas City the game.Former Chiefs offensive guard Geoff Schwartz pinned the blame on Reid for Sunday’s loss to the Broncos.“That loss is on Andy. The players made enough plays to win the game,” Schwartz wrote on X.When Kansas City was leading 24-21 in the fourth quarter, Reid sent Harrison Butker out for a 54-yard field-goal attempt in rainy conditions. The Chiefs’ kicker missed the field goal. Reid could have punted and asked the Broncos to drive the length of the field instead.Then the Chiefs had another chance to win the game when they reached the Broncos’ 1-yard line. Patrick Mahomes connected with Rashee Rice for the game-winning touchdown pass, but right tackle Jaylon Moore was called for a false start penalty.As a result, Kansas City had to do it again. In their next attempt, Mahomes was sacked on fourth down at the 6-yard line. Reid could have maybe opted for a more direct rushing play or a quarterback sneak near the goal line, particularly with a timeout still available.Chiefs HC Andy Reid Reacts to Right Tackle’s Game-Losing False StartJaylon Moore’s false start not only nullified Kansas City’s go-ahead touchdown pass, but also gave the Chiefs a 5-yard penalty.Chiefs head coach Andy Reid disputed the false-start call against Moore, saying:“I didn’t see it,” Reid said postgame, per ESPN’s Nate Taylor. “I saw him move his head, but I didn’t see a false start.”Reid also acknowledged that it was never going to be easy for the players out there because of over 100 yards in penalties.Moore also accepted that he let his team down.“I mean, I’ve just got to be better,” Moore said, via Taylor. “I still haven’t gotten a chance to look at it, but, regardless, I’ve just got to be better. With (the game) being so tight, the situation that it was, it just hurts even more.”This was Kansas City’s second straight loss after starting the season with five consecutive wins.Read More News:“He Is Washed Up,” “Not a Top 5 QB Anymore”: NFL Fans Rip Patrick Mahomes After Costly Error Leads to Chiefs’ Loss vs. Broncos“Eagles Got Another Dude Out Here Risking Serious Injury”: NFL Analyst Rips Nick Sirianni’s Team on Playing Injured Saquon Barkley Amid Jalen Hurts RowCollege Sports Network has you covered with the latest news, analysis, insights, and trending stories in tennis, college football, men’s college basketball, women’s college basketball, and college baseball!
