KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Chiefs were in Las Vegas last weekend for the conclusion of the regular season, which seems about as appropriate a place as any to start this conversation.
But first we have to back track farther — to the preseason. That’s when oddsmakers in Las Vegas initially released the betting numbers for NFL coach of the year, and Chiefs coach Andy Reid was listed at 35-1.
Some four months later, Reid’s team just concluded a 14-3 regular season, the best record in the AFC, which is why they’re the only AFC team sitting at home this weekend, feet up on the sofa, as six of their counterparts hope to join them in the Divisional Round.
