Chiefs coach Andy Reid defended his team’s clock management at the end of Saturday night’s 27-20 playoff loss at New England.
The Chiefs squandered about 59 seconds in the final 2 minutes, 29 seconds of the game as they tried to overcome a 14-point deficit.
“I thought the situation we were in, I thought we were handling it the right way,” Reid said. “We had the plays. We knew what we wanted … the bottom line is we scored. And we had time to score again and not give them the ball back.”
After Charcandrick West was stopped for a 1-yard loss at the New England 2 with 2:29 to play, the Chiefs failed to get off a play before the 2-minute warning.
