Andy Reid delivered a straightforward but powerful message regarding the Chiefs’ final five games of the 2025 season
Andy Reid and the Chiefs are running out of time.
The Kansas City Chiefs can not afford to lose another game. They couldn’t really afford to lose to the Dallas Cowboys, either, and yet, they did on Thanksgiving Day. They can still make the postseason; they will likely need to win out and get some help from other teams. So, with so much on the line – the continuation of the dynasty, what do you tell your team when it’s looking as bleak as it does?
“Let’s go,” Reid told reporters on Wednesday when asked about his message to the team. “You’re in the month of December, and you’re still in it, so let’s go. That’s what’s important.”
The Chiefs are still in it, but man, the product on the field at times looks like they’re a team far from the postseason. They can’t string together anything great consistently on both sides of the ball. That’s going to have to change.
How Andy Reid keeps positivity up with Chiefs staff and players
When all you’re used to doing is winning, like seven straight AFC Championship appearances and three Super Bowl wins in five years, then it’s easy to get down on yourself the first time it looks like that won’t be happening. Keeping that positivity up is vital because you’re never out of it until you’re mathematically eliminated. And you’re definitely never out of it when you have Patrick Mahomes.
“I’m big on reality, what’s real, why are we where we are (and) what can we do to fix that,” Reid said when asked about keeping positivity up. “That’s what I look at and try to give something – they have something they can work on. Likewise, as a coach, that’s how I look at it for myself and the coaches. Where are the problems? Then let’s work on fixing those, and if you do that, it takes your energy to get it right, and that’s what we’re striving to do.”
Kansas City is set to play the Houston Texans on Sunday Night Football this week. They’re coming off a mini bye week, as we call it, after playing last Thursday. This is where the run has to start. It has to be a 1-0 mentality every single day – win the day. They have to revert to what they’ve always done and what they’ve always known.
If they can get this win against the Texans on Sunday, it’s safe to say that they start to become that team, again, that no one really wants to see.
