-14 on Sunday Nick Allegretti Kansas City Chiefs Jerseys , so Monday was the day for head coach Andy Reid’s day-after-the-game press briefing.Here are the key takeaways from his close encounter of the press kind:Reid said that both the Chiefs — and this Monday’s opponent, the Los Angeles Rams — are looking forward to playing in Mexico City.Photo by Robert Laberge/Getty ImagesReid got a big laugh from the press when a reporter with a pronounced Spanish accent asked him about playing in Mexico.“You’re not from Olathe,” Reid deadpanned.“Listen, we’re looking forward to it,” he continued. “Great people there. The fanbase is phenomenal. I think if you asked both teams the same question, [they’d say] we’re fired up to have an opportunity to play there. [That’s] based around the people and the support that the people give us in the National Football League.”Reid was asked if the Chiefs had considered practicing in a high-altitude environment,as the Rams are doing this week.“We looked into all that,” Reid said. “We had plenty of time to look at that. After studying it, we just felt it was best to stay here. We’ll just go down there and play.”Reid was also asked if he is concerned about the field conditions at Estadio Azteca, where the game will be played.Recent news reports have suggested that the field may not be in good condition, but Reid expressed confidence that the NFL is on top of the situation.Reid said that while the Chiefs offensive line gave up five sacks to the Cardinals on Sunday, it was a good learning experience for the makeshift offensive line.Scott R. Galvin-USA TODAY Sports“That group hasn’t played a bunch together,” he said. “So they did a couple of things in there that’ll help us down the road here, and we can learn from. It wasn’t just a physical thing — in a couple of cases, it was — but it wasn’t just a physical thing. We seemed to kind of adjust to it in the second half and do a little bit better job. We’ve got to do better, obviously. And that’s what we’re always striving to do. I appreciate their effort, and their ability to make some changes and communicate — to work it out.”That led to a question about the Rams defensive front.“They’ve got a healthy load of good football players, and they’re well-coached,” Reid said. “We’re going to go back through — like we do each week — and stick to the process. It’ll be a day later than what we normally are for a Sunday game, but we’ll jump right back into making sure we get ourselves right — study them, and make sure we have that part down.”One of the other matchups people will be watching on Monday is the one between Tyreek Hill and former Chief Marcus Peters.“Marcus is a good player,” said Reid. “He was a Pro Bowl player when he was here. There’s a mutual respect there between the two because they’ve played against each other so much. I don’t know if there’s an advantage one way or the other. It’ll be fun to watch.”Reid spoke about how Dee Ford has been playing since his return from the injury he suffered in 2017, and how it was nice to have Justin Houston back on the field on Sunday.Jay Biggerstaff-USA TODAY Sports“You can see that he’s healthy and playing good football,” said Reid. “Having Justin [on the] opposite [side] just felt right for him. And then Breeland [Speaks] being able to come in and Tanoh [Kpassagnon] being able to come in — that’s a pretty good rotation. To watch Breeland grow over this last little bit when Justin was out — that’s a neat thing. Dee’s healthy, and feels good about the things that he’s doing. He’s doing a good job setting the edge, too, which kind of gets overlooked with his pass rush. He’s playing good football right now.”Reid also spoke about another player returning from an injury last season: Spencer Ware Kansas City Chiefs Jerseys 2019 , who scored a touchdown on Sunday.“There was a question whether he’d be able to come back from that injury,” said Reid. “Pretty tough one to come back from. But you know the kid, and you go, ‘Well, if anybody can do it, he can do this.’ He bore down and got after it. Rick [Burkholder] and the trainers worked with him. He was here every day — doing his thing and being diligent like that — so when he goes out and plays, and you’re like, ‘Whoa!’ And he’ll score a touchdown”Other notes from Monday’s press appearanceReid said that there were no injuries to report after Sunday’s game. He was hopeful that the extra day off would help hobbled players get healed in time for Monday’s game, and said that Sammy Watkins and Anthony Hitchens might be ready to go by then.Watkins was inactive on Sunday with a foot injury, but Hitchens dressed for the game.Reid said that Hitchens had been active on Sunday only in case he was needed.Reid was asked if, at this point of the season, he’d consider Patrick Mahomes to be the league MVP.Reid demurred, saying he wasn’t very good at “all that stuff.” Reid said he understood why reporters had to ask him the question, but he was going to be “a little water around the boulder” about it. The Kansas City Chiefs break huddle and line up in a traditional formation: Patrick Mahomes settles under center, Kareem Hunt is in the backfield, tight end Travis Kelce joins wide receiver Sammy Watkins on the right side, and Tyreek Hill and Demarcus Robinson head to the left.Then, from a defensive perspective, all hell breaks loose.Mahomes is suddenly dropping into the shotgun, careful he doesn't run into Hunt, who has moved from the left side to the right. Hill has run all the way across the field and lined up on the right, just as Kelce has raced in the other direction to line up on the left.The defense thought it had everyone covered. Now, mismatches abound as linebackers try to cover Kelce and safeties are forced to match up with the Chiefs' speedy wide receivers.That play against Pittsburgh a couple weeks ago wasn't just a gimmick. That's standard stuff in the Chiefs' basic offense, a seemingly seamless melding of Andy Reid's old-school West Coast system and the new-school spread offenses that have changed the college game."That play calling was something I've never seen before," said Jacksonville safety Tashaun Gipson, whose top-ranked defense was torched in a 30-14 loss at Arrowhead Stadium last Sunday."I've played Andy Reid, and maybe it was the Browns or it was Jacksonville 2016 Nick Allegretti Jersey nfl draft , and he didn't pull out all the stops," Gipson said. "But this game plan, man, and I can't say it enough 鈥?and again, I'm not trying to discredit any guys over there 鈥?but I've never seen a team do that to us consistently."In fact, Gipson said, "they had their way with us all game."They've had their way with just about everybody the first five weeks, piling up a franchise-record 175 points. Mahomes has already thrown for 1,513 yards, shattering the Chiefs mark for five games, and a 300-yard passing game at New England on Sunday would give him a team-record five straight.Kansas City (5-0) has scored at least 30 points in each of its games."If you try to play zone coverage against them, they've got the guys to beat zone. They have the guys to beat man. So you have to pick your poison," Gipson said. "We came here with all this hype, talking about how good we are as a defense, myself included, and we got drug out there. Straight drug."What the Chiefs are doing this season is hardly a flash-in-the-pan attack, though. It's the culmination of years of tinkering, beginning with Brad Childress' work as "spread game analyst" and incorporating bits of the college-style spread attack to what the Chiefs were doing last season.But while Alex Smith could pull off run-pass options, or do things in the quarterback-run game, it wasn't a perfect fit. That came when Mahomes took over as the starter this season.Mahomes is a product of the Air Raid system, basically a spread offense on steroids. He is accustomed to a flood of targets all over the field, quickly identifying where the matchup problems give the offense an advantage, and delivering the ball so that his playmakers can make things happen.Plus, Mahomes has the arm strength to make any throw on the field."He's not afraid to let it loose," Broncos offensive coordinator Bill Musgrave said. "When you have the arm strength that he has, he can fit the ball into those small windows."Most of the time, though From China Nick Allegretti Jersey , the Chiefs are able to give him garage doors.That's because they have the personnel to make all those creative formations work. Kelce is athletic enough to line up anywhere on the field, Hunt has excellent hands for a running back, and Hill and Watkins have the speed to beat anyone in a one-on-one matchup.So, for example, the Chiefs can line up without anyone in the backfield, forcing defenses to change their personnel and alignment. Then the motion games begin, and Kelce or Hill or someone else could end up in the backfield, creating confusion and mismatches."There's not much we can do once we make our call and (Mahomes) comes out in his formation," Broncos coach Vance Joseph said. "Once he goes empty, he knows what he's got. That makes it tough."Or downright impossible, it sometimes seems."Watching Andy for a long time, he always has some neat, cool things," 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan said. "I don't know where they come from. He's in there looking up a lot of stuff because they do some unusual things. Sometimes I'm predicting it came from a high school team, maybe a college team. They know how to spread the field. They know how to run all those jet sweeps and do all the RPOs."Shanahan said the foundation remains the West Coast offense, and the Chiefs are still capable of beating teams with basic stuff. Just look at how they've put away games late in the fourth quarter, when they've leaned on Hunt and some old-fashioned, smash-mouth football.But none of that catches people's attention like the flashy stuff."Over these last four years or so, they've really added an element of the misdirection and stuff. It's been an issue, not just because of the plays, but the people with the plays," Shanahan said. "They have the speed at every angle to run those things and really put defenses in a bind."NOTES: SS Eric Berry (heel), FS Eric Murray (ankle) and OLBs Justin Houston (hamstring) and Tanoh Kpassagnon (ankle) remained out of practice Thursday.
