Reid, who has been in charge at Kansas City since January 2013, previously led the Chiefs to victory at Super Bowl LIV in 2019. At Miami’s Hard Rock Stadium, the Missourians produced a stunning fourth-quarter comeback to beat the San Francisco 49ers 31-20 and clinch the second Super Bowl victory in franchise history.
Under Reid, Kansas City have been virtually ever-present in the NFL playoffs – they’ve reached the postseason in nine out of his 10 campaigns at Arrowhead Stadium – and have become the dominant force in the AFC.
