edia following Sunday night’s 43-40 loss to the New England Patriots Sammy Watkins Jersey , and again on Monday afternoon.Let’s round up some of what he said:On Sunday night, Reid characterized the game as a learning experience.David Butler II-USA TODAY Sports“It was a heck of a football game,” he said. “I was proud of how the guys battled. We will learn a lot from this game. We kind of shot ourselves in the foot a little bit early and you can’t do that against a good football team. So, we learn from it and we move on and get ourselves better for the following week.”On Monday, Reid expanded on that.“The more you’re together and the more you play together, the better you understand each other, and you become battle-tested,” he explained. “You feel like, ‘Listen... if we just take of a few of the issues there early, we have a chance to be a pretty good team.’ That’s what you learn from something like this. And every week you learn something new. When you come out of this game, that’s what you’re saying. You’re kicking yourself in the tail a little bit for the things that happened early, but on the other hand, you’re going, ‘You know what? We fix a couple of those things, and we’re going to be OK.’”Reid made it clear he doesn’t believe in moral victories.“I’m not a big ‘moral victory’ guy as much as I am a ‘learn from what you’ve got to better yourself’ guy,” he said. “We [need to] just stay on that, and get better the next week. I don’t care who’s in there -- I really don’t care. Get your stuff together and let’s go play, and get ourselves better. You come in here and look at the tape, you bear down on it, and be as honest as you can be. I say this to the coaches — and myself — too. Be as honest as you can be on it — and learn from it — and then let’s get better. Let’s do that collectively.”After digesting the game tape, Reid confirmed Patrick Mahomes’ Sunday night explanations of his two first-half interceptions.Greg M. Cooper-USA TODAY SportsOn Sunday night Authentic nthony Hitchens Jersey , Mahomes said that when Dont’a Hightower moved into the line of scrimmage on his first interception, Mahomes “kind of lost track of him,” and didn’t know Hightower had moved into a position where he could make a play on the ball.“Hightower bit on the play fake, and then he was all the way in to the line of scrimmage, and then he settled back out,” Reid said. “Mahomes saw that he had Kelce, so he tried to get it out quick — where he normally would just kind of put it up and over — [but] Hightower [had] filtered back out. So he got Mahomes on that one. It’s a great one for him to learn from.”On the second interception — which, on Sunday night, Mahomes said was an instance of him being greedy — Reid was philosophical.“Listen, Patrick’s always going to try and make plays the best he can, but he can learn from that one, too,” he said. “There’s a time and a place. Maybe you just throw it out of bounds and you kick one. There’s a time and a place for that.“But he came back in similar situations and made some huge plays — like on the one to Kareem, when he was scrambling out of the pocket, and hit Kareem down on the sideline. There’s a time and a place for everything, and with all of his gifts and abilities and great plays, he’ll learn that with time here. But you can’t fault him for trying his best. You know you’re going to get his best.” Reid said that Sunday night showed he can depend on Mahomes to learn and to keep fighting.“He started off a little rough,” Reid said. “But he came back. he battled through it. He kept firing — which is important — and made some plays. He’s a young guy. For him to be able to overcome those things during a game, tells you a little bit about him. But on the other hand, we have to get better at those things. We have to start better. He’s the type that will do that. he knows that every day’s not going to be perfect, but that he has to keep battling. That’s what he does Youth Kendall Fuller Jersey , and I appreciate that with him.”Other notes from Reid’s Sunday and Monday remarksReid said that center Mitch Morse suffered a concussion on Sunday night and would be undergoing the concussion protocol this week.Jordan Devey started in place of injured right guard Laurent Duvernay-Tardif on Sunday night, and moved to center when Morse left the game in the second quarter.Andrew Wylie took Devey’s place at right guard.Should Morse be unable to play Sunday night against the Cincinnati Bengals, that’s probably where they would remain.Reid wasn’t bothered by the fact that the Patriots had no penalties assessed against them in Sunday night’s game.“I think the officials go back and do the same thing we do,” he said. “They study it, and learn from it. if they miss one or two here or there, they’ll figure it out, and they’ll get it the next time. I kind of put them in with all of us. That’s the human element of the game, and you roll with it.”Reid noted that after the 7:20 mark in the fourth quarter, the Patriots just about doubled their passing yardage for the whole game.We checked, and Reid was right.Until the 42-yard pass to Chris Hogan on third-and-one with 7:20 remaining in the game, the Patriots had passed for only 165 yards.They finished with 327.Five things to watch in the Chiefs’ home opener against the 49ers With Patrick Mahomes under center for his first regular-season start at home, Arrowhead Stadium is going to be rocking on Sunday. The Kansas City Chiefs will try to extend their record to 3-0 against the San Francisco 49ers.Here are five things to keep an eye on during the game:1. Can the offensive line continue to keep Patrick Mahomes clean?Denny Medley-USA TODAY SportsGoing into the regular season, left guard Cam Erving was a question mark on the offensive line.The presumption was that if Erving couldn’t hold down his position alongside Eric Fisher, we were going to see problems.So far, Erving has done a good job — even getting kudos for his play — and as a whole, the line has allowed just two sacks thus far, while Mahomes has run roughshod over opposing defenses.That’s a good sign.But the 49ers could present the Chiefs offensive line their toughest challenge yet.DeForest Buckner, Sheldon Day and Solomon Thomas are all solid pass rushers, and the 49ers have notched five sacks so far.If the Chiefs offensive line can keep the 49ers pass rush at bay, we can start to breathe a little easier about them — and Mahomes will be able do his thing.2. Can the defensive line get pressure on Jimmy Garoppolo?Sergio Estrada-USA TODAY SportsAfter being named the 49ers starting quarterback late last season, Garoppolo led the team to a 5-0 record to close out the year and then received a then-record five-year $137.5 million contract with the 49ers.But so far in 2018 http://www.chiefsauthorizedshops.com/authentic-kareem-hunt-jersey , he hasn’t been that impressive, with one pretty good game against the Detroit Lions and a really bad opening game against the Minnesota Vikings.Has Bill Belichick — who got a second-round draft pick in exchange for Garoppolo last year — managed to pass off another Matt Cassel to an unsuspecting team, or is it just that Garoppolo isn’t getting the protection he needs?The 49ers have given up nine sacks to start the season.So here’s an opportunity for Chris Jones and Dee Ford — who have been among the few bright spots on the Chiefs defense — to make a statement.They could use one.3. Is 49ers running back Matt Breida the real deal — or not?Brace Hemmelgarn-USA TODAY SportsBreida — an undrafted free agent signed by the 49ers in 2017 — led the NFL in rushing after Week 2.But 138 of his 184 yards came against a suspect Detroit Lions defense in Week 2.So it will be up to the Chiefs run defense to prove (or disprove) Breida’s credentials.The Chiefs weren’t very impressive against the run in Week 1 versus the Los Angeles Chargers, but were much better against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 2 — albeit against a Steelers team that all but abandoned the ground game after the first quarter.How Breida does against the Chiefs will say a lot about how the offseason moves to shore up the run defense are shaping up.4. Can Dave Toub keep working his magic?Denny Medley-USA TODAY SportsHonestly, it’s pretty unfair to the rest of the league.During the last five seasons, not only has the Chiefs special teams coordinator managed to make quite a few teams look pretty bad, turning one unheralded player after another into a kick-return touchdown threat, but during the offseason, he was instrumental in drawing up the new kickoff rules — giving him a leg up on designing plays out of the new formation.In Week 1, Tyreek Hill returned a punt for a touchdown against the Chargers.In Week 2, Toub fooled the Steelers into thinking their intentional short punt had actually gone long, resulting in a 54-yard return by De’Anthony Thomas that led to a Chiefs touchdown.What is Uncle Dave cooklng up to show the Arrowhead crowd in the home opener?5. Which record will Patrick Mahomes break next?Photo by Justin Berl/Getty ImagesAs Good Morning Football host Peter Schrager pointed out on Thursday, until Mahomes came along, only one NFL quarterback — Jeff Hostetler — had won three consecutive road games to begin his career.Since Mahomes will be playing at home, he’s going to have to settle for a tie on that one.But if Mahomes throws four touchdown passes on Sunday — which certainly doesn’t seem unthinkable —he’ll have three straight games with four.All the way back to 1920, only ONE player has ever done that: Peyton Manning.Manning did it twice — once in 2004 for the Indianapolis Colts and once in 2013 with the Denver Broncos.But Manning, of course, was well into his career for the first streak — not starting his second through fourth games as a professional!And Manning is finished with his career.If he ties Manning on Sunday, Mahomes could still extend the streak to four the following week.Against the Denver Broncos.
