Kansas City Chiefs’ Head Coach Andy Reid Achieves Historic NFL Feat

Kansas City Chiefs won their Week 4 game against the Philadelphia Eagles at Lincoln Financial Field, bringing their regular-season run to 2-2.

However, the victory was a special one for head coach Andy Reid as with this; he marked 100 wins with the Chiefs. Ultimately becoming the first coach in the NFL to win 100 games with two different teams.

A special win for Andy Reid

Incidentally, the irony is that the other team with whom he celebrated his first 100 wins was none other than Philadelphia Eagles itself. And because of this, it became an emotional moment for Reid as he celebrated his feat in a place he once used to call home.

Reid coached the Eagles from 1999 to 2012, so Sunday’s game was a homecoming for the 63-year-old coach. And since he happened to be in Philadelphia, he rejoiced that moment in the most Philly way possible, as he had a cheesesteak for dinner. “My room was filled with food. It was good to have a cheesesteak… It’s good to be back,” Reid said.

Although this celebration was in doubt a week ago when Andy checked into a hospital in an ambulance after his loss against the Chargers. However, later he was dehydrated from the game and was just a precautionary visit with no immediate health concerns.

Kansas City Chiefs made the evening special

Reid, in his post-game interview, became emotional talking about his historic win and how much it meant to him. Clyde Edwards-Helaire revealed the team had got to win this game, as winning in Philly would be a very special one for Reid to celebrate his 100 wins with the Chiefs.

“It’s special to him,” said Mahomes, who threw five touchdown passes against the Eagles. “He kind of became Andy Reid in Philadelphia. … But when you look back on [his career], you’ll know him as a Kansas City Chief. The way he was able to build up this organization from day one. … No offense to Philly but I’m glad they let him go and he’s coaching us in Kansas City.” 

The Kansas City Chiefs locker room had its celebration mode on post-game, for the head coach, Andy Reid. Chiefs chairman and CEO Clark Hunt presented Reid with a football honoring his 100th win, turning his evening even more special.
