This needs to be said. I love the fact that Andy told Patrick, 'you're not going back in the game until you go back and get an X-ray." A lot of HCs would let their star QB go back in the game if he said he wanted to go back in with so much on the line. But Andy showed his heart and his fundamental decency, and held his ground, when a lot of people would've been all too happy to send him back in without that X-ray.
The dude had Chad Henne pass on the first play of that drive from the two! Who does that?!!! Guy is unreal. Has trust in his players and it set the tone for the drive. [Reply]
After tonight's win Reid passed Tom Landry for 2nd all time in playoff wins. Only Belichick has more.
An even more wild stat is that Reid now has 11 playoff wins with the Chiefs. That alone would put him in a tie with a bunch of people, including a few current coaches, for 10th all time. Belichick is the only current coach with more than 11 playoff wins. [Reply]

Both times, his faith in his players paid off.
No, but I am pissed that he kept running it up the middle on 1st down in the 4th quarter, which ended up putting us on 3rd & long every time.
And, honestly, not running the ball and taking the clock to the 2 minute warning in the first half was kinda FN stupid too, and gave the Bengals time to score.
Reid and Mahomes are the best thing to ever happen to the Chiefs, but Reid has a history of losing playoff games after having double digit leads, and it's almost always because of his offensive play calling.
He is a legendary coach, but he isn't perfect.
