One thing I have come to appreciate, even as a media member, over the years with Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid is his ability to temper expectations when things could get away from his team.
I think back to the 1-5 start in 2015, and I remember Reid’s approach—one game at a time. Reid kept a similar attitude last season when the Chiefs, after starting a perfect 5-0, dropped to 6-6. Many, including yours truly, said at the time the Chiefs should bench Alex Smith in favor of Patrick Mahomes.
