Kansas City Chiefs HC Andy Reid continues to climb the NFL leaderboards when it comes to winning football games. 

Last week, Reid claimed the No. 4 spot in NFL history with 271 combined regular season and postseason wins. This week, Reid's reached a new milestone only related to regular season wins. 

With a 23-20 win at the New York Jets on "Sunday Night Football", Reid has now become the fifth head coach in NFL history with 250 regular season wins during his career. He also ties Tom Landry for the fourth-most regular season wins in NFL history.

Big Red has made an irreplaceable impact in the win column during his time in Kansas City. He managed to amass 120 of those 250 regular season wins during his 11 seasons as Chiefs head coach. In fact, he's never had a season in K.C. with fewer than nine regular-season wins. With just 10 more wins, he'll become the first head coach with 130 wins for two different NFL franchises.

Reid joins the likes of Don Shula, George Halas, Bill Belichick, and the aforementioned Landry as the only NFL coaches with 250 regular season wins. Belichick and Reid are the only active coaches in the NFL with 250 or more regular season wins. The next big landmark is 300 career regular season wins. Only Halas and Shula have reached that mark, but Belichick is knocking on the doorstep with 299 career wins.
