The Kansas City Chiefs tried a rare quarterback sneak on Sunday, and coach Andy Reid had a tongue-in-cheek response to its total failure.
The Chiefs deployed backup quarterback Justin Fields in a short-yardage situation against the New York Jets, a rare move for a Reid offense. Not only did Fields fail to pick up the yardage, but he fumbled the ball back to the Jets (video here).
After the game, Reid noted that fans and the media had wanted to see that type of play all season, and taunted them over its failure.
“I mean, you guys asked for it, so we gave it to ya, and it didn’t work. How’d you feel?” Reid joked.
Andy Reid on the failed QB sneak attempt with Justin Fields vs the Jets: “I mean, you guys asked for it, so we gave it to ya, and it didn’t work. How’d you feel?” Adds: “Those are hard to practice live. A quarterback sneak is hard to practice unless you do it in a game.” https://t.co/Ccf6sQqRVy

Reid certainly did not like the result, but he had some fun with it. The Chiefs wound up winning 35-12, which made it easier for him to crack jokes.
Reid may have learned an important lesson about his team through the failure. One has to wonder if we will see Fields again anytime soon.
