Andy Reid and the Kansas City Chiefs had plenty to be excited about.
A 29-10 Christmas day blowout of the Pittsburgh Steelers gave them a record to 15-1 while clinching the AFC’s No. 1 seed in their quest for an unprecedented third straight Super Bowl championship.
Players were excited in the locker room, especially because now key players are able to rest in next week’s regular-season finale before a first-round bye in the postseason.
Andy Reid knew just how to celebrate as he ran in playing Santa Claus for your postgame speech.
Unfortunately, part of his speech had him getting blasted.
Reid, who has led the Chiefs to three Super Bowl wins, stated in part, “How ’bout those Chiefs?! That’s what I’m talking about. Merry Christmas everybody, proud of you. For the present, you get home-field advantage.”
This was clearly taken from former Dallas Cowboys head coach Jimmy Johnson, who first stated, “How Bout Them Cowboys!” phrase following a playoff win over the San Francisco 49ers in 1993.
Patrick Mahomes Responds To Andy Reid Dawning Santa Suit
Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid was feeling the holiday spirit on Christmas Day and decided to do it big after the team blew out the Pittsburgh Steelers.
The 66-year-old surprised his team dressed as Santa Claus in the locker room after the Chiefs’ 29-10 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Wednesday.
Following the moment, quarterback Patrick Mahomes said it might be time for Reid to hang up his Santa suit.
“He’s getting kinda skinny. He’s getting kinda skinny for the Santa,” Mahomes told reporters after the game.
Mahomes acknowledged that Reid “fits the role perfectly.”
“It’s good for his health,” Mahomes said of Andy Reid’s weight loss, “so he’ll be a skinny Santa from now on.”
