\t\t<\/p>\n The Kansas City Chiefs, who played in the 2025 Super Bowl<\/em>, are having a disappointing season so far with 5 wins but 5 losses.<\/p>\n If the playoffs started today, they would not be competing.<\/p>\n Many fans online have been critical of Coach Andy Reid<\/strong><\/a> and Offensive Coordinator Matt Nagy<\/strong>\u2018s choice of play calling during games. Specifically, fans are wondering why more running plays are not called. If you\u2019re not a football fan, running plays are specifically designed for the team\u2019s Running Backs to run the ball and help gain yardage while the quarterback gets a little rest for his arm.<\/p>\n Sometimes, teams call \u201cRPO\u2019s,\u201d which are \u201cRun-Pass Options.\u201d This means, at the line of scrimmage, the quarterback, (in this case, Patrick Mahomes<\/strong><\/a>), can decide if he thinks the play would be better as a running play or as a passing play.<\/p>\n In a new statement, Coach Reid<\/strong> said that they are calling \u201cquite a few\u201d RPO\u2019s, but Patrick <\/strong>is turning them into passing plays and not running plays.<\/p>\n However, many took this to be some shade towards Patrick <\/strong>for wanting to throw the ball.<\/p>\n
