Kansas City Chiefs fans convinced Andy Reid used special tactic against Bills to ‘not show hand’ and ‘purposely’ lose

Supporters of the Kansas City Chiefs are certain that Andy Reid employed a unique strategy against the Buffalo Bills.

And they believe it was to prevent the defending Super Bowl champions from showing their hand to a possible playoff opponent.

At Orchard Park, New York’s Highmark Stadium, the Buffalo Bills defeated the Chiefs 30–21.

Kansas City’s 15-game winning streak, which began in December of last year, came to an end with the defeat.

Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes appeared to decide to “do it again” after the game.

Additionally, both teams appeared to imply that they would most likely meet each other in the January playoffs.

As a result, Chiefs supporters said Reid was not displaying the entire extent of his play sheet.

Travis Kelce just had two eight-yard catches.

Additionally, DeAndre Hopkins, a recently signed wide receiver, collected three of his four targets for 29 yards.

“Listen up, everyone, including Bills fans,” one fan said.

“In the regular season, Andy Reid doesn’t show his hand in anything.

“They didn’t really try with Kelce, and they hardly used Hopkins.

“Why people can’t pick up on this still blows my mind.”

Another person concurred with the evaluation of Kansas City’s performance.

“Is it possible the Chiefs are purposely trying to keep Hopkins snaps below the 60% threshold?” the fan inquired.

“I find it incomprehensible that Hopkins would play 47% of the snaps in a game like that.

“He was 3rd in the wide receiver room in snaps.”

Buffalo defeated the Chiefs in their fourth consecutive regular-season meeting since October 2021.

However, the Chiefs have defeated them twice in the playoffs over that time frame.

In their quest for an unprecedented third consecutive Super Bowl, Reid implored his squad to take lessons from Sunday’s defeat.

“The margin between winning and losing is small and that starts with me,” stated Reid.

“Some of our young guys can learn a lot from this game.

“What matters most is that they are a strong squad and they take advantage of your errors.

“We have got to learn from it and take something out of it to make us better down the road.”
