EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — Andy Reid had such success coaching teams coming off bye weeks he had gone 16-2. That magic was gone Sunday.
The New York Giants beat Reid's sluggish and out-of-sync Kansas City Chiefs 12-9 in overtime. The week off did not cure what ails the Chiefs, who have lost four of their last five games after a 5-0 start.
Reid put the blame squarely on his shoulders.
"We didn't play well enough," Reid said. "That's my responsibility."
Reid was not the only culprit. Not even close.
Alex Smith was off-target most of the afternoon at blustery MetLife Stadium.
