(AP) — KANSAS CITY, MO After being rushed to the hospital following Kansas City’s 30-24 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday, Chiefs coach Andy Reid is now resting and in stable condition.
The Chiefs said in a statement on Sunday night that Reid was assessed by the team’s medical personnel in the locker room following the game and, as a precaution, was sent to The University of Kansas Health System for additional assessment.
The message on Twitter read, “Coach is doing well, currently resting & in stable condition.”
Despite feeling sick, the 63-year-old Reid coached the whole game, according to a team spokesman.
After a disappointing fourth quarter for the second consecutive game, assistant coach Dave Toub took questions.
After the event, Toub stated, “Coach just wasn’t feeling well.” “He did speak with the group.”
The Chiefs (1-2) wasted a chance to defeat the Chargers with four turnovers, multiple expensive penalties, and a plethora of missed assignments. Quarterback Patrick Mahomes even stated that his coach “seemed fine on the sideline as well.”
Regarding the locker room after the game, Mahomes remarked, “He came in and talked to us and he seemed fine.” “I really only know that.”
Three consecutive turnovers by the Chiefs to start the game included two fumbles and a Mahomes pass that was meant for a wide receiver but instead wound up in the hands of Asante Samuel Jr. of the Chargers.
With 1:42 remaining in the fourth quarter, Mahomes threw another interception, effectively ending it.
Even though the score was still tied, Los Angeles appeared certain to reach the end zone because of their questionable defense, which had allowed touchdowns to be scored on 12 straight red-zone trips to begin the season.
After giving up a 15-yard throw to Keenan Allen on third down, the Chiefs gave Los Angeles another opportunity when DeAndre Baker was flagged for pass interference on fourth down a few minutes later. The Chargers took a permanent lead with 32 seconds remaining in the game as Justin Herbert struck Mike Williams with back-to-back throws.
Running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire responded, “Pretty much it’s not going to be over-the-top as far as him getting on us,” when asked what Reid said later. We are aware of our mistakes. We are aware of what has to be fixed.
