Yahoo Sports NFL on Patrick Mahomes
From the article
'We kind of got messed up with the timing of it. We were trying to surprise the defense when we broke the huddle, and with the spot, we had to re-huddle again, and their defense got to adjust to it.'
STACKED’s take
Mahomes cites officiating reset for sneak failure; unit still learning the procedure.
Mahomes flared out left on the failed quarterback sneak play, watching from the sideline. Post-game, he attributed the failure partly to the officiating reset disrupting timing: 'We kind of got messed up with the timing of it. We were trying to surprise the defense when we broke the huddle, and with the spot, we had to re-huddle again, and their defense got to adjust to it.' Mahomes acknowledged the unit is still learning the procedure and emphasized the need to execute short-yardage plays at a high level, noting 'It's new to the guys, but as long as we keep executing at a high level short-yardage-wise, we'll find different ways to do it.' The source notes it remains unclear whether Mahomes would ever run a sneak himself.
