Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid has become notorious for a lot of things – you can’t miss that mustache anywhere! Super Bowls, hamburgers, and being an offensive mastermind are just some of those things. But at the top of the list is the undisputable dominance his teams display when coming off of the bye week.
The bye week is the week teams take off to focus on recovery and getting ready for the latter half of the season. But extra rest and time to prepare for the next opponent doesn’t always equate to success the following week. Unless Andy Reid leads your team.
Following Kansas City’s 28-18 victory over the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday, Reid improved his record for games after a bye week to 22-4, making him the winningest coach in NFL history following a bye week with a .844 win percentage.
Reid’s record after a bye shows how masterful he is at making sure his team stays sharp and ready to go. While Reid has proven in other ways that he’s one of the greatest head coaches in league history, his record after a bye is one that always comes to coverage every season and is seen as an advantage for Kansas City no matter whose next of the schedule.
