Andy Reid learned absolutely nothing from Cowboys, Mike McCarthy

Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid made the same mistake as Mike McCarthy and the Dallas Cowboys in the AFC Championship.

McCarthy opted to call a quarterback run, not taking the clock into account and ending the Cowboys season in the process. All of this occurred in the Wild Card round, of course, and some of the blame has to go on Prescott.

With just under 10 seconds remaining in the game, McCarthy, Kellen Moore and Prescott thought it would be a good idea to call a quarterback run despite having no timeouts. The clock ran out as Prescott ran up and tried to spike the ball, thus preventing the Cowboys from calling another play.

While not the same level of boneheadedness, Andy Reid must not have watched that game in full.

Chiefs make clock management error to end half

With five seconds on the clock from their own goal-line, Reid gave Patrick Mahomes another chance in a goal-to-go situation to score before the half. Rather than making a quick read, Mahomes took too long and the clock ran out on the first half.

Kansas City still leads at halftime, 21-10, but that easily should have been a two-touchdown advantage after a short field goal from Harrison Butker.

The Chiefs are still favored to win the game, and make another appearance in the Super Bowl. But why make matters unnecessarily tough, especially considering they start the second half with the ball?
