In American football, the greatest treasure guarded by NFL teams is usually in the playbook of plays that quarterbacks memorize.

The idea is to always try to surprise the opposition, so the on-field laboratory of coaches and players is constantly being developed week in and week out.

For example, Kansas city chiefs coach Andy Reid is in favor of letting the team have some of that creativity, although in the end he has the final say in giving the green light.

“If you let them do it, the guys are more motivated. They can pitch me anything, but I have 51 percent of that vote,” Reid said.

“They have to be perfect for Reid to like them,” Mahomes said. “We make up a lot of plays. The coaches start them and then we finish them.”
