Despite Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes dealing with a lingering ankle injury and the Chiefs struggling to keep the football, running back LeSean McCoy only registered eight carries — four in each half — for 44 yards on Sunday during the 31-24 loss to the Houston Texans. That equates to 5.5 yards per carry for McCoy.
The number 5.5 pops — and it might make one ponder why he did not get the ball more. Asked about the lack of run calls after the game, Chiefs head coach Andy Reid cited the run-pass option (RPO).
