Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes was the center of attention during his appearance on the HBO, and LeBron James produced show “The Shop: Uninterrupted.” Last Saturday night, the reigning Super Bowl MVP made sure to show some love to his head coach Andy Reid for his immediate success in the league.
After receiving compliments from fellow panelists, Mahomes quickly redirected his praise to Reid, who finally won his first championship as an NFL head coach with Super Bowl LIV. When asked about the memorable trick play, Mahomes credited Reid and offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy for implementing the Rose Bowl play from 70 years ago in training camp.
The 2018 league MVP dug a little deeper with his gratitude for Reid by recalling a past game.
”I want to get to the level coach Reid is at,” said Mahomes as he began to break down his new goals in the league. ”We played the Denver Broncos in the snow, and we had moved the ball well. In the red zone, they played zone coverage every single time, every single play. And so I wanted to call a different play, and coach Reid called a man beater. He said ‘I want to call this man beater right now.’ I’m looking at coach like, what are we doing?
“We get out there and those dudes are playing man coverage. Touchdown. He knew. I want to be on that level where I can think ahead.”
Mahomes’ appearance didn’t disappoint at all as he gave fans a deeper understanding of his motivation. The show displayed a raw version of his view on his career so far and, more importantly, the expectations he still has for himself in the future.
