Arrowhead Pride on Justin Fields

ArticleChiefs Mailbag: What to think of the Kingsley Suamataia mess?November 4, 2026

From the article

My solution would be to put backup quarterback Justin Fields into some third-and-1 and fourth-and-1 plays. Perhaps that means taking Mahomes off the field for a snap. Perhaps that has both quarterbacks on the field at the same time.

Fields proposed as short-yardage option to address Chiefs' third/fourth-and-1 struggles.

Source proposes using backup quarterback Justin Fields in third-and-1 and fourth-and-1 situations as a solution to Chiefs' short-yardage struggles; suggests Fields could either replace Mahomes for a single snap or line up alongside him. This represents a potential expanded role for Fields in goal-line and short-yardage packages, leveraging his mobility to account for Mahomes' knee limitations.
