Andy Reid addresses the 'roughing the passer' hit on Patrick Mahomes

On Monday, Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid addressed the recent roughing-the-passer penalty called against his quarterback, Patrick Mahomes, during last Sunday's game. Reid expressed his acceptance of such calls, emphasizing the vulnerable nature of the quarterback position and its significance to the game's appeal. He noted that attracting attention to the game is beneficial for all parties involved, including the teams, coaches, and fans.

Reid acknowledged that the incident involving Miami Dolphins defensive lineman Chop Robinson, who hit Mahomes as he released the ball, was severe enough to warrant a penalty. Despite his dismay, Reid recognized that both sides would face such situations going forward. He stated that while the hit might have been so impactful that it could have cracked Mahomes' bones, the quarterback managed to rise and continue his performance.

Mahomes went on to have a successful Week 3, completing 246 passing yards, throwing two touchdowns, and recording an interception. This incident, as reported by Chiefs Wire, remains a topic of discussion among the team and its supporters.
