Andy Reid on chatter that Chiefs’ window is closing: ‘We don’t listen to all the noise’ | NFL.com
The Kansas City Chiefs’ Super Bowl blowout loss, after a season of narrow wins (and amid rising AFC West rivals), has prompted some to call 2025 a downslope in Kansas City’s dynasty.
Andy Reid tunes out all that chatter.
“You understand because there were so many close games, but that’s the National Football League, so I was proud of the guys and how they handled those,” Reid told Kay Adams on “Up & Adams.” “When it’s all said, it’s winning the game. We have winners, and they figured it out. I was proud of them for that.
“We don’t listen to all the noise. If you do that, you’re gonna go crazy and then you’re not gonna have fun, right?”
Some, like Patrick Mahomes, will bottle the motivation, particularly after the way the Super Bowl ended.
Reid simply doesn’t give a hoot about anyone talking into a mic or yapping on social media.
“I don’t care about the noise. Let’s go win the game,” he said.
Drew Brees praises the Chiefs’ consistency of success in AFC | Chiefs Wire
Kansas City has won nine consecutive division titles, the second-longest streak of division championships in league history. Only the New England Patriots, who won 11 successive AFC East titles from 2009 to 2019, had a longer streak in NFL history. Brees weighed in on the key to their remarkable run in recent years.
“Tons of respect to the Chiefs, because they have the bullseye on their chest,” he said. “No matter who they play or where they go, they always have the bullseye on their chest. And yet they find ways to win. It’s a ton of credit to Andy Reid and [Patrick] Mahomes — that whole crew — and just the mindset they’ve created.
“I think at some point — even look at Peyton Manning and Tom Brady — Brady and the Patriots kind of had the best of the Indianapolis Colts for a long time. And then finally, the Colts got over the hump with him, and he felt like he turned the tide a little bit — maybe just from a confidence perspective. But yeah… let’s not forget [Joe] Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals. Those are the best: the team that seems like they always play the Chiefs as tough as anybody. They’ve gotten ahead of their number a few times. So yeah… the AFC is pretty stout.”
