The place in history and entrance into the exclusive club hadn’t crossed Andy Reid’s mind.
It’s not that the 64-year-old, wrapping up his 31st NFL coaching season and 24th as a head coach, doesn’t possess a strong appreciation for tradition or what others before him have accomplished. Quite the contrary.
It’s just that Reid had been so present during his Kansas City Chiefs’ quest for another Super Bowl victory, he hadn’t reflected on his legacy.
So, when asked after the confetti settled from Kansas City’s 38-35 Super Bowl LVII victory over the Philadelphia Eagles at State Farm Stadium about the significance of hoisting a second career Lombardi Trophy and becoming only the 14th head coach in NFL history to do so, Reid struggled for words.
