Arrowhead Pride on Justin Fields
From the article
backup quarterback Justin Fields joined Patrick Mahomes in the huddle and eventually lined up under center. After an official time out and re-huddle, Fields' attempt to move the chains by sneaking failed — and ended in a turnover.
STACKED’s take
Fields' first Chiefs QB sneak attempt failed on third-and-short; play was newly installed.
Fields lined up under center on a third-and-short quarterback sneak attempt during the opening drive against the Jets and failed to convert, resulting in a turnover. The play was installed by the Chiefs only the previous week, and Fields told reporters it was 'just a normal play in the game plan; it wasn't necessarily emphasized.' Reid noted the team struggled with timing after an official timeout and re-huddle, and Fields' execution on the sneak—described as having 'a little tush push to it, right into the ground'—did not work as designed. However, Fields had converted 7 of 8 quarterback sneaks for the Jets last season, suggesting the failure was situational rather than a skill deficit.
