Kansas City #Chiefs head coach Andy Reid’s advice for former players starting their head coaching careers | @EdEastonJr

There was a slight change in the Chiefs’ quarterback room. Daniel followed Pederson to the Eagles, and that left a roster opening. The Chiefs turned to veteran quarterback Nick Foles to fill the void. Foles made three appearances and one start.

Chiefs head coach Andy Reid has confirmed that Patrick Mahomes will sit out the trip to Denver, giving the three-time Super Bowl MVP a week of rest after a busy festive period. The Chiefs have already secured No. 1 seed in the AFC and have the luxury of resting players.

Pederson and Reid go a long way back, with the former knowing the latter from his playing days. Reid was an assistant coach on the Green Bay Packers when Pederson joined the franchise as a quarterback in 1995, and they went together to Philly when the Eagles hired Reid as head coach in 1999.

Perhaps the coach with the best record in football — and in Chiefs history — could get some recognition. Don’t bet on it.

Kansas City Chiefs faced backlash for resting key players like Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce, resulting in a 0-38 defeat to the Denver Broncos and eliminating the Cincinnati Bengals from playoff contention.

With Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid already thinking about the playoffs, the NFL imposed fines on multiple Kansas City Chiefs players apart from Travis Kelce. Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid will have a bye week to prepare for the Divisional Round of the 2025 NFL playoffs.

The Kansas City Chiefs’ controversial decision to rest their star players raises questions about fairness in the NFL playoff race.
