Another highlight which set the internet rolling was Andy Reid’s weird and new play call which had everyone laughing.

Mahomes finished the game with a 69 per cent completion rate while throwing for 202 yards and a TD. But as the spotlight shines on Mahomes and the Chiefs, many fans took to Twitter to question a crucial decision by Andy Reid in the 4th quarter vs the Raiders.
