The Kansas City Chiefs fired defensive coordinator Bob Sutton on Tuesday, two days after his defense was unable to come up with a pivotal stop against Tom Brady and the New England Patriots in the AFC Championship Game.
Sutton has worked as Kansas City's defensive coordinator since 2013, when the Chiefs brought in Andy Reid as their head coach.
Reid, in a statement released Tuesday, did not provide a specific reason for the firing beyond saying "change can be a good thing, for both parties, and I believe that this is the case here for the Chiefs and Bob.
