Chiefs have three obvious solutions to Andy Reid’s short-yardage nightmare

Arrowhead Addict's Shawn O'Brate argues that the Kansas City Chiefs need to fix their ongoing struggles in short-yardage situations following a Week 8 loss to the Denver Broncos. Kansas City failed to score on three plays from the one-yard line in that defeat, and the writer highlights that the team currently ranks worst in the NFL inside the five-yard line on goal-to-go situations at 15.4 percent.

To solve the issue, O'Brate proposes three adjustments for head coach Andy Reid: routinely executing quarterback sneaks with Patrick Mahomes or backup Justin Fields, signing a bruising running back such as Kareem Hunt, and cutting down on overcomplicated trick plays in favor of basic, direct rushes.
