I hate to question Andy Reid, because he is a great coach. But why the crap would you ever win the toss and defer in this game?
We played them already once this season, got off to an extremely slow start, and had to play catch-up all game. To guard against that happening again, why not take the ball right out of the gate with your extremely prolific offense and a completely jacked stadium and try to do something with it? Instead, we deferred to the second half, kicked to them, and they promptly marched down the field on a 7+ minute drive that A) immediately tired out our defense, and B) put us behind immediately and made us play catch-up, and C) took the wind out of the fans' sails right away. Patriots wore out our already awful defense to some degree on the very first drive, it's no wonder they never had a chance in overtime and gave up multiple 3rd and 10+ conversions. Take the ball right away, let Mahomes do his thing, and rough ridin' score out of the gate. Absolutely ridiculous decision to give them the ball right away and have to play catch-up from 14 down at halftime WHEN THAT HAS ALREADY HAPPENED ONCE THIS SEASON AND IT RESULTED IN A LOSS.
