Chiefs Fans Think Patrick Mahomes Took a Shot at Andy Reid
Recently, Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes spoke to the media about the upcoming game against the Indianapolis Colts, but it's a few words he said that have fans buzzing. Mahomes praised Colts defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo, calling him a great coach who tailors his schemes to the strengths of his team. “Coach Anarumo is a great defensive coordinator and a great coach,” Mahomes said. “What makes him such a great defensive coordinator is he tailors his scheme to the team that he's playing with. He wants to go with their strengths and getting guys in position to succeed... even from some of the trades they’ve made, they’ve adjusted their defense as well.”
Now, this might seem like a typical compliment to an opposing coach, but the way Mahomes framed his thoughts has sparked some controversy. Chiefs fans are convinced that Mahomes was subtly taking a jab at his own team’s coaching staff, particularly head coach Andy Reid. The last line of Mahomes' comment—praising Anarumo for not being “stuck in his ways”—has led some to believe he was alluding to his own team's approach, which they feel could sometimes be too rigid.

A few fans took to social media, speculating that Mahomes’ comments reflected frustration with the Chiefs’ offensive strategy. One fan tweeted, “Patrick just said the quiet part out loud,” while another suggested that Mahomes was referencing Reid’s recent insistence on sticking with certain plays, even when they weren't working. Some speculated that Mahomes may be hinting at how changes to the offense, such as switching up running plays, could be helpful—a topic that’s been discussed among fans for weeks.
As the Chiefs prepare for their crucial Week 12 matchup against the Colts, it’s clear that tensions may be simmering beneath the surface. While Mahomes is known for his cool demeanor and professionalism, these comments, whether intentional or not, have left fans questioning if there’s more to the story. Fans are now wondering if the frustration that’s been brewing behind closed doors might finally be spilling into the open.
The Chiefs need a win against the Colts to keep their playoff hopes alive, but it’s clear that this off-the-field drama may have just as much attention as the game itself. As Mahomes and the Chiefs look to turn their season around, it will be interesting to see how the relationship between quarterback and coach evolves. Fans are certainly keeping an eye on both the plays on the field and the subtext in Mahomes’ press conferences.
