SportsBeat KC: Go ahead, NFL, change the onside kickoff rule. Mahomes’ Chiefs are ready
One shot at a fourth-and-15 from the kicking team’s 25 instead of an onside kick when trailing?
Give the Chiefs some of that. That proposal is on the board, and Chiefs coach Andy Reid was asked about it Friday. Reid’s response: He’s old-school enough to not want the change and smart enough to know that with Patrick Mahomes, the Chiefs would have an advantage in that situation.
Reid covered several other topics on this episode of The Star’s daily SportsBeat KC podcast, including the prospect of playing without fans, how the Chiefs’ coaches can begin to make evaluations on players they’ve only seen work out via tape thus far and the importance of staying in touch with guys virtually, given the circumstances.
