Honestly, I would have played Henne and told Mahomes to sit down.
Playing Mahomes in that moment made it more likely we win the game, but less likely we win the AFCCG or Super Bowl if he aggravates it, which he absolutely does every time we had one of those stretch runs.
Meanwhile, Henne conducted a 98 yard drive, alright? Andy Reid called the Alex Smith offense for five years, he can hold the fort with Henne against an inferior Jaguars team for a half of football.
I think in normal circumstances, Reid would have done exactly that. Preserve your Ferrari for the race that matters.
I literally think Mahomes bullied the living crap out of everyone on the sideline and got himself back into the game.
I literally think it's that simple.
