‘I Think The Future Here Is Still Bright’: Andy Reid Reaffirms His Stance at Kansas City Chiefs Post Crushing AFC Championship Loss

The Kansas City Chiefs fans have taken a breather at the moment. Their team has been knocked out of the playoffs. The fans are sad, but the HC Andy Reid might have given them something to look up for. Ried is optimistic about the year. 

The Chiefs were in the finals of the Super Bowl last season. But they were defeated pretty brutally by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. This season, they could not make it to the big game. As the AFC championship slips from their grasps, the head coach gives his team some hope for the next season.

Ultimately, the Bengals beat the Chiefs after a field goal. But the actions leading up to it have caused some controversy. Joe Mixon had the ball in his possession and he was rushing towards the end zone. While in the attempt to make a touchdown, Mixon fell. He did make contact with the Chiefs’ defenders, but it did not look enough to knock Mixon down. Andy Reid wanted to challenge the fumble and ask for a review, but the officials denied it. 

Ried said the officials told him that Mixon gave himself up. A review of the play could have changed the entire outcome of the game. 

Andy Reid is looking forward to the next season with the Chiefs

After the AFC championship loss, the head coach is focusing on the next season. He wants the Chiefs to improve their game during the offseason. Whether it is the schemes or the rosters, the team will hit it up in the evaluation period that’s coming up. Reid said that the future is bright for the Kansas City Chiefs. And the team is looking forward to the next season. Reid and his boys are looking to build themselves back up again. 

Andy Reid has high hopes for the next season. With stars like Patrick Mahomes, Tyreek Hill, Tyrann Mathieu, Travis Kelce, and so many more, the Chiefs are working on making themselves better. How do you think the club will fare off next season?
