Andy Reid and the Kansas City Chiefs have lost Patrick Mahomes and Gardner Minshew to injury for the remainder of the season. Chris Oladokun had to step in unexpectedly in the last game against the Titans, and this is what the head coach learned about the former quarterback of the Pittsburgh Steelers when he took over as QB1 and while watching film with him this week.
āHe looks forward to it every week. He prepares himself every week to go. So, thatās been an easy transition as far as him with the verbiage and such. So, he jumps in and gets it. He sits behind the offensive drill there and they mock it, the two quarterbacks. Backup quarterbacks mock it as if theyāre in. They make the calls and then go about it. So, they stay fresh on that. Heās in a pretty good position that way.ā
The Chiefsā season has taken a shocking turn. After being Super Bowl favorites at the start of the year, they are now eliminated without their franchise quarterback and without their backup as well. An unbelievable ending for the dynasty.
