It has been a good year for every member of the Kansas City Chiefs. Winning the Super Bowl in style for the second time with a dedicated staff has to be one of the best feelings for players like Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce. Furthermore, the win in Arizona was special for their head coach, Andy Reid. While someone of his age would usually go ahead, kick back, and retire, Reid obviously prefers stashing Lombardi trophies away. Furthermore, it became even more special considering that he hit a huge birthday milestone this year.
However, even Reid’s most recent birthday was filled with some hilarious mix-ups. While it was the KC Chiefs’ head coach’s birthday, some fans have gone on to give someone completely different birthday wishes. Some fans unknowingly wished a soccer coach in England for the football coach’s birthday.
