Chiefs see Patrick Mahomes as advantage if 4th-and-15 proposal passes, Andy Reid says

Andy Reid isn't necessarily a fan of the NFL's proposed rule that would allow teams to retain possession after a score by converting a 4th-and-15 instead of recovering an onside kick, but the Kansas City Chiefs coach wouldn't be afraid to use the new option if it passes because of quarterback Patrick Mahomes.

"We've got a guy that can do 4th-and-15s," Reid said Friday. "He'd give us an opportunity to do that."

Under the proposed rule, put forth by the Philadelphia Eagles, a team would have the option for one offensive play from its 25-yard line rather than kicking off after a score.
