Andy Reid was in a festive mood after his Kansas City Chiefs topped the Pittsburgh Steelers 29-10 on Christmas Day.
After the game, in the locker room, Reid donned a Santa suit and beard to the delight of his players. He entered the room and told his 15-1 squad that their present was home-field advantage as the top seed in the AFC.

The Chiefs dominated the Steelers on Wednesday to clinch the top spot in the AFC and earn a first-round bye in the playoffs. Travis Kelce made history, while Patrick Mahomes threw for 320 yards and three touchdowns. It was a complete victory that will allow Kansas City to rest up until the divisional round of the playoffs, where the team will host its opponent at Arrowhead Stadium.
It was a merry Christmas for the Chiefs and Santa Reid was there to help them celebrate.
