Since Reid’s hiring, the Chiefs have won nine postseason games after 22 years without a victory. He’s revolutionized the offense with dynamic players like Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce. The latter expressed his appreciation for Reid to reporters on Thursday.

“It’s been everything for me,” said Kelce. “He’s helped not only develop my game, but he’s helped change, really, the outlook on what a tight end can be, and I appreciate him guiding me in that. And without a doubt, I’m extremely fortunate – everybody’s always asking how the heck I get so open, I’m like, ‘Well, I got (Head) Coach (Andy) Reid, baby.’ When you got Coach Reid, he can get (anybody open). He can get my dad open if he was out there (laughter). So, I’ve been unbelievably fortunate to be under his guidance, programmed the way he is, because I do genuinely believe he does it the right way. And I don’t plan on stopping this thing anytime soon, and I hope he doesn’t.”while playing under Reid. The pair have shared this journey in Kansas City, building from the bottom to becoming perennial Super Bowl contenders.

Reid ranks second in franchise history in total victories, regular and postseason, with 116. He stands only eight wins behind legendary coach Hank Stram, which seems just a formality as he’s poised to eventually overtake the top spot.
