One of the best (and occasionally maddening, depending on the play) things about Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid is his fascination with unusual play designs. When these plays don’t work, Reid can be subject to criticism for being “too cute” for his own good. But when they do, they are hailed as master stokes by one of the league’s most innovative offensive minds.
We saw examples of each during Kansas City’s 42-21 Wild Card beatdown of the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday evening.
The most egregious occurred early in the second quarter after both the Chiefs and Steelers had failed to score during the first frame.
