Former NFL Star Absolutely Roasts Eric Bieniemy

Running back LeSean McCoy isn’t a fan of Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy.

He felt like the long-time mentor did not properly utilize him during his lone season with the Chiefs in 2019.

However, Chiefs head coach Andy Reid went on the defensive by saying McCoy couldn’t produce the way he did earlier in his career.

But McCoy is making noise again after the confrontation between Bieniemy and quarterback Patrick Mahomes in their Week 3 game against the Indianapolis Colts.

The two were seen arguing after the clock expired to end the first half.

Bieniemy played it safe by calling for a run play to let time run out.

Meanwhile, Mahomes might have wanted to be more aggressive in hopes of getting more points before halftime.

The decision proved costly as the Chiefs dropped the game against the Colts, 20-17.

McCoy could not care less about the result, focusing on the argument instead.

B/R Gridiron tweeted, “LeSean McCoy chimed in on the dispute that took place Sunday between Mahomes and OC Eric Bieniemy.”

McCoy said, “All Bieniemy does is argue wit the players.. KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT passing or PLAY CALLING.”

McCoy played 13 games in his only season with Kansas City, finishing with 465 rushing yards and four touchdowns.

A Frustrating Defeat For The Chiefs

Some stats reveal that the game should have gone the Chiefs’ way.

Indianapolis averaged 3.8 yards per play and allowed five sacks on quarterback Matt Ryan.

The Colts only had 177 passing yards and also lost a fumble.

However, it didn’t help that the Chiefs converted only three out of ten third-down tries.

Kansas City also committed more penalties, and Mahomes threw an interception.

The Chiefs hope to bounce back in Week 4 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
