Despite a quiet divisional round from the wideout spot, Reid remains confident in the group entering the AFC title game.

After leading the Chiefs to a 15-2 regular season, Reid joins Washington’s Dan Quinn, Denver’s Sean Payton, Minnesota’s Kevin O’Connell and Detroit’s Dan Campbell as finalists for the honor. The Chiefs wasted no time congratulating their head coach, calling him by his nickname, "Big Red."

Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid made a surprise claim ahead of the team's AFC Championship Game vs. the Buffalo Bills.

(-2.5) favorites, the Chiefs head into this AFC Championship matchup as (-1.5) favorites, a subtle yet significant shift in perception. Even as Reid adopts an underdog mentality, the numbers tell a different story.

Andy Reid wants Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs to be aware of the Buffalo Bills defense ahead of their highly anticipated meeting in the 2025 NFL playoffs.

Reid, the former Eagles coach won 130 of those games during his 14 seasons in Philadelphia, leading the Birds to five NFC Championship Game appearances and a trip to Super Bowl XXXIX in 2004

Ahead of their AFC Championship Game quest, the Chiefs announced that head coach Andy Reid had been named the 101 Awards AFC Coach of the Year. "Led us to our best record ever... so far," posted the Chiefs. "Well deserved, Coach! Congratulations."

Spagnuolo’s first head coaching stint came with the St. Louis Rams from 2009 to ‘11. He also briefly served as the New York Giants’ interim head coach in 2017. The 65-year-old owns a sterling record in Kansas City, having won three Super Bowls and helped the Chiefs finish in the top-10 in scoring defense in five of his six seasons.
