Andy Reid, Patrick Mahomes Discuss Xavier Worthy's Latest Sideline Miscue in Loss to Bills

If Worthy had dragged his left foot after securing the football, the Chiefs would have had another explosive play on a drive that resulted in a three-and-out following the miss.

After the game, Chiefs head coach Andy Reid mentioned Worthy's big day and the sideline mishap in his opening comments after the game.

"Worthy and [tight end] Noah [Gray] had good days," Reid said. "Worthy will learn from the one on the sideline, we'll have to take a peek at it on tape to see exactly what happened, but we were close on that one, on the deep ball."

Later during his press conference, Reid was specifically asked about the near-connection.

"He'll get better at those, and then we'll get him the ball a little quicker as we go on them," Reid said. "I've got to see it. We're going to look at it on tape and see exactly if he was able to drag his foot, if that was possible. If that's the case, then he can learn from that, yeah."

Quarterback Patrick Mahomes had a more straightforward approach when he spoke to media after the game.

"It's probably just me throwing it more in bounds to the guy that's wide open for a touchdown," Mahomes said. "If I throw it in bounds, it's a walk-in touchdown. I just have to be better there."

The Mahomes-to-Worthy connection has been inconsistent during Worthy's rookie campaign, with plenty of blame to go around. In last week's win over the Denver Broncos, Mahomes missed a would-be touchdown due to in inaccurate throw that led Worthy out of bounds, making the pass uncatchable. The week prior, Worthy ran himself out of bounds and turned another nearly sure-fire score into a long incompletion.
