When the Los Angeles Rams' Sean McVay decided to punt the preseason years ago, sitting all of his starters and most key backups, many other head coaches followed. More than half of NFL teams sat 20 players or more last week.
And the coach who keeps winning Super Bowls couldn't care less about that trend.
Andy Reid sees value in the preseason. His Kansas City Chiefs get playing time in August. While teams like the Rams won't dream of playing a QB2 in preseason games, two-time MVP and three-time Super Bowl MVP Patrick Mahomes will be out there.
