The Kansas City Chiefs are known for doing some of the craziest things in games, and one Chiefs coach just revealed where it comes from.
Last season, it was the snow globe play against the Las Vegas Raiders, in which they spun around in a circle in the huddle, threw a flea flicker to Mahomes, and scored a touchdown to Kadarius Toney. However, it was called back.
Or even the play called Corndog, now so famous after the Netflix show "Quarterback." The Chiefs do crazy things that other teams couldn't think of pulling off in the game. We know that the offensive mind of Andy Reid is pretty crazy, but where do all of the trick plays stem from?
Offensive coordinator Matt Nagy gave a little insight and clarified that he doesn't have a big role in the process.
"I have a little [say]," Nagy said to the media on Wednesday. "But it goes to two people: Coach Reid and Patrick. Kelce's got a little sprinkle, too, when he wants to — if Coach decides he wants to listen to him. We have a good time.
"I mean, a lot of this stuff, there are so many plays in this playbook, and we'd like to be able to keep the fun in practice with the players and keep the fun in the games as long as they know if you have somebody doing something they're not necessarily always used to doing, do it the right way. I think that's the beauty of Coach Reid and this offense."
It's cool to know that Mahomes is the second person in the entire process that everything has to run through before it gets the thumbs up. Mahomes is the head of it all after Reid, which makes sense because he is one of the only guys in the league that can pull off some of the things the Chiefs do.
Even this year, we could see some pretty impressive things take place. The Chiefs have receivers and running backs that can do multiple things, which only helps with plays like those.
