When Andy Reid joined the Kansas City Chiefs ahead of the 2013 NFL season, the franchise didn’t exactly have a strong record of postseason success.
After winning Super Bowl 4 during the 1969 NFL season, the Chiefs won just three playoff games over a 43-year span. They brought Reid aboard hoping he could enjoy some of the playoff success he enjoyed with the Philadelphia Eagles and turn the Chiefs into a consistent winner.
The results have been spectacular. Reid has led the Chiefs to an 18-7 playoff record and three Super Bowl wins during his 12 years in Kansas City. He is on the verge of leading the Chiefs to a third straight Super Bowl victory, and if he does, the Chiefs will tie the New England Patriots for the most consecutive postseason wins in NFL history (10).
Reid’s dominance in Kansas City has allowed him to pad his resume and establish himself as one of the best coaches in NFL history. Where does he rank among the NFL’s winningest coaches, including the playoffs? Here’s what to know as Reid takes aim at his 302nd win in Super Bowl 59.
