Andy Reid is pretty good at this whole head coaching thing. On Sunday, while defeating the Tennessee Titans in the AFC Championship, the Kansas City Chiefs head coach joined New England Patriots' Bill Belichick as the only coach to beat all 32 NFL teams twice, as pointed out by the folks on Reddit.
Reid has split his head coaching career between the Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles. He spent 14 seasons as the Eagles' head coach (between 1999 and 2012), going 130-93-1 in the process and taking a trip to the Super Bowl (only to lose). He moved on to the Chiefs in 2013, where he has gone 77-35 since.
On Sunday, Reid beat the Titans, giving him his second career win against them. The win meant far more than that, however, as it also sent Kansas City to the Super Bowl for the first time in 50 years.
The Chiefs will face the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl LIV on Feb. 2 in Miami. They will do so with the superior quarterback, as Reid's masterpiece as a “quarterback whisperer” Patrick Mahomes is enjoying a postseason to remember, tallying nine total touchdowns in two games — both in come-from-behind efforts.
Defeating the 49ers in Super Bowl LIV won't be easy, however. Whereas Reid's Chiefs are a dominant passing team, Kyle Shanahan's San Francisco squad is run-heavy, supplemented by a defensive line that never gives up.
If Reid and the Chiefs can topple the 49ers, he will join Belichick in another statistical category, being a Super Bowl-winning head coach — a feat that has eluded him for his entire career.
