The result? An incomplete pass, a turnover on downs, and a disaster.\u00a0<a class=\"es-hyperlink-new\" href=\"https:\/\/www.essentiallysports.com\/category\/nfl\/cleveland-browns\/\/?utm_medium=website&amp;utm_source=website_internal&amp;utm_campaign=web_link_1\" target=\"_self\">Cleveland<\/a>\u2019s pass rush got through the line like a freight train, crumpling the pocket. Mahomes? Bent backward, his legs trapped awkwardly beneath him. You could feel the collective gasp from Arrowhead to Cleveland.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin\">Mahomes limped off the field, his right ankle getting taped up on the sidelines.\u00a0<a class=\"es-hyperlink-new\" href=\"https:\/\/www.essentiallysports.com\/category\/nfl\/kansas-city-chiefs\/\/?utm_medium=website&amp;utm_source=website_internal&amp;utm_campaign=web_link_1\" target=\"_self\">Chiefs<\/a>\u00a0fans everywhere were left holding their breath.

High standards come with being one of the league\u2019s most respected coaches, and this time, Reid\u2019s decision-making had everyone talking. And it was but one decision. That one decision?\u00a0<em>Hmm\u2026It was for a big guy.\u00a0\u00a0<\/em>So, it\u2019s no surprise the Kingdom is feeling protective. One comment read:\u00a0<em>\u201cAndy Reid is trying to get Mahomes killed. I am mindblown by how bad this coaching is right now.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin\">Mahomes, at 29, has racked up a r\u00e9sum\u00e9 most quarterbacks can only dream about\u2014three-time champion, two-time MVP, six-time Pro Bowler. Losing a player of that caliber would be devastating. Fans didn\u2019t hold back, with one venting:\u00a0<em>\u201c<\/em><em>Andy Reid puts this guy in so many bad situations. Crazy he\u2019s been lucky this far.\u201d\u00a0<\/em>Can you blame them? When your franchise QB is the face of the NFL, every decision feels monumental.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin\">However, sometimes fans forget the beginning. Reid was the one to trust Pat with the\u00a0<em>Baptism with Fire.\u00a0<\/em>Obviously, the rest is history. But there\u2019s not one without the other. It feels like at this point, fans are so heated that they\u2019d take everything seriously as one even chimed in saying:\u00a0<em>\u201cMahomes and Andy Reid have been bad today.\u201d\u00a0<\/em>A bit harsh\u2026 But those are the standards we are talking about here. Anything less and even fans can\u2019t bear it. And if\u00a0<em>\u2018bad\u2019\u00a0<\/em>is getting them the\u00a0<em>Ws,\u00a0<\/em>the league should brace itself for the\u00a0<em>\u2018<\/em><em>good\u2019<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"new-heading_heading-container__K1E3x\" data-content=\"Watch What\u2019s Trending Now!\">\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; Chiefs silenced the Dawg Pound, but at what cost?\u00a0They walked out of\u00a0Cleveland\u00a0with a 21-7 win\u2026 However, their\u00a0#15\u00a0Patrick Mahomes\u00a0left the game with a right ankle injury.
