However, Sharpe decided to talk about the actual game. At one point, he was asked who deserves the credit for the Chiefs’ success last night. The NFL Hall Of Famer made it very clear that the credit belongs to Mahomes. Although Andy Reid called a great game, Sharpe likes that Mahomes can actually execute on the game plan. “We’ve seen coaches diagram great plays and QBs can’t make it happen, but Mahomes makes it happen even when there isn’t a great play,” Sharpe explained. Reid and Mahomes have made an exceptional duo over the last two years, and Sharpe understands that better than anyone.
