"With 10 minutes remaining and the game tied at 10, Reid decided to keep the Chiefs offense on the field facing fourth-and-1 from their own 31-yard line. Instead of calling for a handoff to Kareem Hunt -- who has been one of the NFL's most reliable running backs in short-yardage situations -- Reid had quarterback Patrick Mahomes operate from the shotgun with receiver Hollywood Brown in the backfield."
"A few minutes later, the Texans scored to go ahead 17-10. "I put the guys, offensively, in a tough position with the fourth downs [calls]," Reid said. "I was trying to stay aggressive with it. I take full responsibility for that. I thought we could get it. It's important that you take advantage of opportunities. In hindsight, it was wrong. I messed that one up.""
With 10 minutes remaining and the game tied at 10, Chiefs coach Andy Reid kept the offense on the field on fourth-and-1 at the team's 31. Reid called a shotgun pass to Rashee Rice with Hollywood Brown in the backfield instead of giving the ball to Kareem Hunt, and the pass fell incomplete. That decision marked Reid's first time going for it on fourth down in the fourth quarter or overtime from inside his own 40. Both Next Gen Stats and ESPN's model favored the decision, but pressure from Will Anderson Jr. hurried Mahomes' throw. A few minutes later the Texans scored to take a 17-10 lead, and Reid took responsibility.
