Andy Reid on working with Matt Nagy vs. Lions: “It was just as if (Eric Bieniemy) were there”

Eric Bieniemy’s decision to seek greener pastures with the Washington Commanders was a key moment of the Kansas City Chiefs’ offseason. With one week of the regular season officially in the books, head coach Andy Reid is settling in with new offensive coordinator Matt Nagy.

Reid spoke about Nagy’s first game in his new role on Monday and told reporters that he didn’t feel like he missed a beat with the former quarterback on the headset.

“Yeah, we had great communication, I mean, that’s how we go about it,” Reid explained. “It was just as if EB (former Offensive Coordinator Eric Bieniemy) were there. It’s the same type of communication that we had during the game. I thought that part was relatively smooth. I didn’t have a problem with the way that went.”

With some luck, the Chiefs may be able to replicate the success they found with Bieniemy on their coaching staff as they lean on Nagy for more input in the coming weeks.
