Andy Reid has been coaching football for a long time and has seen his share of competitive seasons during his time with the Kansas City Chiefs. Since 2013, he has rarely failed to make his mark on an individual season’s story, from the no-receiver-touchdown year to the Chiefs’ Super Bowl championship in 2020.
