Andy Reid Becomes First Coach To Have Most Wins For Two Teams

Nov 27, 2023 8:57 AM

Andy Reid won his 125th regular season game with the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday against the Las Vegas Raiders.

The victory broke Hank Stram's franchise record for most regular-season wins by a head coach.

Reid is now the first head coach in NFL history to have the most regular-season wins for two different franchises.

He won 130 games with the Philadelphia Eagles in his 14 seasons there (1999-2012) and has 125 wins in his 11 seasons with the Chiefs (2013-present). 

With 277 combined victories in the regular season and postseason, Reid is fourth on the all-time list among head coaches.

Travis Kelce: I've Thought A Lot About Retirement

Nov 21, 2023 9:15 AM

At 34 years old, Travis Kelce knows he's nearing the end of his NFL career.

The Kansas City Chiefs tight end opened up about the subject of retirement in an interview with WSJ Magazine.

During that conversation, Kelce revealed that retirement is constantly on his mind and that it's something he thinks about "more than anyone could ever imagine."

According to Kelce, he's undergone 10 surgeries in his football career, and the pain from those surgeries still hasn't gone away.

"That's the only thing I've never really been open about, the discomfort. The pain," Kelce said. "The lingering injuries -- the 10 surgeries I've had that I still feel every single surgery to this day."

Kelce was a third-round pick of the Chiefs back in 2013.

Eagles Not Satisfied Despite Beating Chiefs In Super Bowl LVII Rematch

Nov 21, 2023 9:06 AM

The Philadelphia Eagles came back to beat the Kansas City Chiefs 21-17 on Monday night in a rematch of Super Bowl LVII.

With wind and rain steady throughout the night, the defenses starred. Jalen Hurts threw for 150 yards and an interception and was sacked five times while Patrick Mahomes went for 177 yards with two touchdowns and a pick.

"I don't think we played clean tonight. I don't think we played to our standard -- nowhere near our standard," Hurts said. "But I think the thing that you can't test or quantify is the resilience that a team has, the ability to persevere and see through things and overcome things, and this team has that.

"When you win games like we've won games, that builds a ton of character. We're kind of in, I guess, character development mode with the games we've played and how we've won. It can only serve us for great things in the future."

Eagles' Jason Kelce Doesn't 'Buy Into' Revenge Game Against Chiefs

Nov 17, 2023 8:54 AM

Jason Kelce says he is not playing into the Super Bowl revenge angle leading up to Monday night's showdown between the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs.

However, the Eagles center would like to beat his former coach, Andy Reid, and brother, Travis, for the first time in his career.

"I'm motivated to win the game. I don't need the Super Bowl [loss] to motivate me to beat my brother, or [his former coach] Andy Reid. I've never beaten them in my career. I'm more motivated maybe by that," Kelce said. "I don't buy into Super Bowl revenge games. Each season is different . This team is not the same, that team is not the same. Nothing that happens on Monday night is going to at all change or make anything different about what happened last year."

The Eagles lost a 38-35 heartbreaker to the Chiefs in the Super Bowl last season. 

Kelce is 0-4 against the Chiefs lifetime. He noted that the two teams he hasn't beaten, the Chiefs and Seattle Seahawks, are both on the schedule this year, giving him the opportunity to finally notch a win against them in what could be his final season.
