Did Andy Reid throw Patrick Mahomes under the bus?

The Kansas City Chiefs haven't found much consistency this season.

They lost their first two games of the year, then won five out of six. And just when it seemed that their offense was regaining its form from the early days of the dynasty, they regressed again.

They've now dropped two games in a row to fall to 5-5, and their division-title aspirations may have already slipped through their fingers. Some of that has had to do with their lack of success in the running game. However, it's not because of head coach Andy Reid.

Did Andy Reid take a subtle jab at Patrick Mahomes?

In his weekly virtual media availability Monday, Reid stated that the Chiefs are still trying to run the ball.

“We’re calling quite a few of the RPOs. Yesterday, they were giving us opportunities to throw the football, so we utilized the opportunities there, and those things ended up being as good as a run; we’re getting four-plus yards, and you go with it," Reid said. 

Then, he turned some heads with his follow-up comments, which some took as a subtle dig at quarterback Patrick Mahomes.

"But the runs are being called; it’s just sometimes they get turned into passes in today’s world, you know, that’s how it goes," Reid continued. "But we are getting them in, and we have some hard runs where you just get up, line up, and go. Probably could call more of those.”
