Andy Reid simply sees another Chiefs player, disregarding Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce.
With Mahomes playing at a poor level and Kelce failing to score on 10 receptions, the defense had to shoulder the responsibility.
In particular, it was impressive how Miami’s offense which featured veteran teammates Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle was restrained.
In addition to honoring defensive backs coach Dave Merritt, head coach Andy Reid stated that Sneed was vital in reducing the danger that Hill posed.
“Hey, Tyreek’s a fantastic athlete.” Reid said, “You saw the one catch he had, and he’s a tremendous player.”
“Tyreek was knocked down by Seed, which is not something that happens very often. It is hard to imagine another corner in this league being as good as him. Conversely, [Trent] McDuffie is another player that is playing extremely well and challenging as well.
He is having a great football season, much like the secondary. Dave has done an excellent job leading the group.”
Sneed is another exceptional player for the Chiefs.
If Sneed performs as well as he did against the Dolphins this season, Chiefs supporters should count themselves quite fortunate.
The Louisiana Tech product gave up only one combined reception to Hill and Waddle in his two games against Miami this season, according to Next Gen Stats. These types of figures don’t exist in the NFL.
Despite never having played in a Pro Bowl, Sneed’s value has been proven by the Chiefs, as seen by his efforts against top receivers like as A.J. Brown, Justin Jefferson, and Ja’Marr Chase.
The Chiefs will surely make every attempt to tie Reid down to a new deal as soon as possible if his comments are any guide. It will be concerning because of his potential free agency at a position when he is about to enter his peak.
