Patrick Mahomes hit a former No. 1 overall pick on this big dude touchdown pass.
Patrick Mahomes decided Eric Fisher needed to be No. 1 again on this touchdown pass.
When you are as good at football as Mahomes is, you can throw touchdown strikes to former No. 1 overall picks and left tackles at the same time. Truth be told, it helps if they are one and the same. Fisher suffices both circles in this Venn diagram, as the former Central Michigan Chippewas offensive tackle went No. 1 overall to the Kansas City Chiefs back in the 2013 NFL Draft.
It’s evident Andy Reid wants Eric Bieniemy to be an NFL head coach in 2021.
While large human touchdowns are always preferred at every opportunity, this play call and overall offensive approach was about one thing and one thing only. Chiefs head coach Andy Reid wants his beloved offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy to get the NFL head coaching opportunity he has earned for 2021. Arthur Blank, this is the guy you need to hire to replace Dan Quinn, okay?
Many of the league’s best coaches stem from the Reid coaching tree. John Harbaugh has won a Super Bowl with the Baltimore Ravens. Ron Rivera went to a Super Bowl with the Carolina Panthers. Matt Nagy carried Mitchell Trubisky the playoffs with the Chicago Bears. Sean McDermott has made the Buffalo Bills look good for the first time in decades. Bieniemy is next.
Though Fisher never lived up to the hype of being the No. 1 overall pick in the weakest NFL Draft of his generation, he and right tackle Mitchell Schwartz are the bookends that keep Mahomes upright and clean in the pocket. So it was only a matter of time before he rewarded his left tackle with a some precious fantasy points he didn’t know he needed, but is certainly thankful to have.
Big dude touchdowns are the best, but they’re even better when Mahomes throws them.
