When the offense faced its share of challenges, Coach Andy Reid found himself seeking answers. In both weekly games, the Chiefs‘ offense didn’t resemble the same juggernaut that won the Super Bowl. Sports anchor Rich Eisen detected a significant shift in the Chiefs’ performance.
After the return of the 310-pound Chris Jones, the defense appeared more formidable in week 2. However; it was evident that the Chiefs made minimal offensive attempts to run the ball in the first half. Consequently, Eisen finds it challenging to digest this, prompting him to formulate a concise message to convey to Andy Reid.

Why was Eisen’s frustration with the offense palpable? Well, he took matters into his own hands, drafting a note filled with essential ‘Nuggets’ of wisdom for Coach Andy Reid to consider. During his show, Eisen addressed his microphone with conviction, urging Reid to embrace a more run-heavy approach. “A little bit more running, Just more run, just, just try it.” Added, “I am giving Andy Reid some advice, just run, just little bit more running.”
The urgency behind Eisen’s plea became clear as he recounted the second-quarter mishaps that plagued the Chiefs. Costly errors, from fumbled punts to interceptions, handed the Jaguars crucial opportunities. Still, there was a glimmer of hope as Patrick Mahomes and his receiving corps rallied towards the end of the first half.
Mahomes, in particular, showcased his brilliance with a spectacular play near the game’s conclusion. Let’s delve deeper!

Eluding a Jaguar defender’s tackle attempt, 6 ft 2 in Mahomes launched a long pass to Moore, who sprinted for 54 yards: a game-changing moment. The offense gained momentum as Gray and Edwards-Helaire displayed their prowess, and Moore secured his first-ever touchdown. The team’s performance improved further as Mahomes connected with Kelce for another touchdown.
Mahomes, with 305 passing yards and two touchdowns in the game, stood out as the game’s standout player. Despite his impressive stats, the 225 lb QB had to contend with two interceptions. The Chiefs ultimately secured a 17-9 victory over the Jaguars, leaving them with one win and one loss this season. Their next challenge awaits as they prepare to face the Bears at home next Sunday.
