The long-time NFL and current Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid stays winning on and off the field. The NFL and the National Football League Players Association (NFLPA) have been busy in the offseason ironing out the conditions for the upcoming season. The two sides have also encountered some hurdles along the way but the Super Bowl LIV champion coach came through to make ends meet.
NFL insider Ian Rapoport bared the news about the Chiefs head coach on Twitter:
One unsung hero in negotiations: Super Bowl winning #Chiefs coach Andy Reid. He was helpful in walking through the union what training camp could look like, I’m told. And then Commissioner Roger Goodell had him speak on the owners call, as well.

Recently, several of the NFL's marquee stars voiced their sentiments united together under the #WeWantToPlay tag on social media. The call-out made by the players is indicative of their desire to play in the upcoming season, given that the league will help provide a safe environment for them to play in.
After the clamor for change, the league has decided to agree on a daily coronavirus testing for all the players on a two-week duration once the season starts. The pre-season games were also eventually canceled in lieu of the current coronavirus pandemic conditions.
On the field, Andy Reid remains to be one of the league's winningest coaches. The Chiefs coach currently owns a 222–142–1 career coaching record, good for a .610 total winning percentage. He also has two Super Bowl rings under his belt, his first coming from Super Bowl XXXI won by the Green Bay Packers where he served as an assistant coach from 1992-1998.
The 2002 NFL Coach of the Year is just as excited as everyone else to start the upcoming season as his squad is looking to defend their Super Bowl LIV title against the rest of the league.
The first challenge to the Chiefs' reign will be posed by the dynamic Houston Texans on September 10 at the Arrowhead Stadium.
